2026 Canada 68 Gram Heraldic Lion Silver Coin .9999 Fine
A bold celebration of Canadian heraldic artistry, the 2026 Heraldic Lion Silver Coin from the Royal Canadian Mint showcases one of the nation’s most distinguished symbols in breathtaking detail. Struck from 68 grams of .9999 fine silver, this collectible masterpiece features an imaginative take on the lion that appears throughout Canada’s official emblems. Limited to only 2,000 pieces worldwide, it offers an extraordinary fusion of historical symbolism and cutting-edge minting technology.
While lions don’t roam the Canadian wilderness, they occupy a prestigious place in the nation’s heraldry. Featured on the crest and shield of the Coat of Arms of Canada, and as one of its regal supporters, the heraldic lion symbolizes sovereignty, bravery, and Canada’s enduring connection to the United Kingdom.
Two distinct minting techniques enhance the design’s depth: the lion is engraved in Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR), rising approximately 4.3 mm above the surface, while the surrounding wreath is struck in Ultra High Relief (UHR). A subtle woodgrain background unites the composition, adding texture and dimension to both obverse and reverse.
