Celebrating Canada’s Diversity: Transcendence and Tranquility - 1 oz. Pure Gold Coin (245316)

Canadians of Iranian heritage can proudly lay claim to a rich tapestry of history, culture, literature, and artistic traditions that encompass a wide range of disciplines—from architecture to weaving and metalwork, and so much more. Ornamented with a genuine turquoise gemstone, this 99.99% pure gold coin—the fifth in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Celebrating Canada’s Diversity series—incorporates design elements that reflect Iranian cultural traditions, spanning from Ancient Persia to contemporary interpretation by an Iranian-Canadian artist, represented by Eslimi patterns and Shah Abbasi flower motifs from traditional carpet designs, lotus flowers inspired by the reliefs of Persepolis, stylized maple leaves symbolizing Canadian identity, and a paisley motif in the centre. These elements come together on the coin’s reverse, where the balanced symmetry and stirring symbolism are meant to inspire, to urge us to transcend our perceived limits, and to find inner peace and tranquility.

Coin #5 is adorned with turquoise, and no two pieces are alike.
