2024 Canada Dollar Collectibles

That is a 2024 Canadian $1 Commemorative Circulation Coin celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the Birth of L. M. Montgomery, the beloved author of Anne of Green Gables. What is Special About This Coin? 1. Commemorative Design: The reverse (the side with the picture) pays tribute to L. M. Montgomery. It is the first Canadian circulation coin to commemorate an author. • The design, created by artist Brenda Jones, features a profile portrait of L. M. Montgomery writing. • Flowing from her portrait is a scene of the fictional Anne Shirley gazing out at the colourful Prince Edward Island landscape, which was the setting for many of Montgomery's stories. 2. Selective Colour: The coin you have is the colourized version, where the sky and landscape are enhanced with colour (blue, green, and orange), making it more visually striking than the non-colourized version also issued for circulation. 3. New Effigy: The obverse (the side with the King's portrait) features the new Canadian effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as this coin was among the first Canadian circulation coins to be issued with his likeness.
