1986 Canada Vancouver Centennial $1 Silver Proof Coin Boxed

Celebrate the historic expansion of Canada with the 1986 Vancouver Centennial Commemorative Silver Dollar. Exquisitely struck by the Royal Canadian Mint in a 50% fine silver composition, this dollar proudly honors a double milestone: the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, and the historic arrival of the Transcontinental passenger train (1886–1986).

Designed by renowned Canadian artist Elliot John Morrison, the reverse depicts the powerful steam Engine No. 371—the first transcontinental train to cross Canada—steaming out of a detailed cityscape skyline backdrop of Vancouver. The dual commemorative dates "1886" and "1986" are struck cleanly below the tracks. The obverse displays the elegant, classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin.

This vintage numismatic favorite features a premium cameo proof finish, utilizing deep frosted details that contrast beautifully against brilliant, reflective mirror fields. Your coin arrives inside its clear protective capsule on an acrylic mini easel stand, complete with the original bilingual snowflake-motif story insert card, nestled inside the original RCM black textured clamshell box and silver protective sleeve.
