1981 Canada 1/2 oz Proof Gold $100 National Anthem: O Canada!
In 1981, Canada celebrated a major national milestone with a special legal tender coin struck in 91.67 percent pure gold. This issue honors the historic moment on July 1, 1980, when "O Canada" was officially adopted as the country's national anthem. With a limited mintage of 100,950 pieces, this sovereign coin carries a face value of 100 dollars and contains exactly a half ounce of gold. The design of the coin beautifully merges geography and music. On the reverse, a map of the nation serves as the background for a musical score featured prominently in the foreground. The obverse displays the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by inscriptions detailing her name, the year 1981, and the denomination of 100 dollars.
