EQUALITY 50th Anniversary $10 1 Oz Silver Color Coin Canada 2019

•  1969-2019 - EQUALITY - 50th anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality in Canada - $10 Pure Silver Coin  

  This beautiful Silver coin is dedicated to an inspirational message that re-affirms Canada’s commitment to human rights and reflects on our journey towards equality, diversity and inclusivity.

Over the last five decades, Canada has made significant strides in becoming a more inclusive society, guided by a belief in diversity, equality for all and the right to live free from discrimination, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or sex characteristics.

The reverse image by Canadian artist Joe Average is a celebration of community, equality and inclusion. The intertwined stylization invites a personal interpretation of the design, viewed through the lens of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics. The facial traits reflect gender fluidity and the spectrum of gender expression; they may belong to two individuals, or they may represent different aspects of one's identity.

A ray of light reflects in each eye and brings the colour image to life, bolstered by the vibrant colours of the PRIDE flag. The English word "EQUALITY" and the French word "ÉGALITÉ" are included on two curved bands. The frame includes the word "CANADA", the double dates "1969" and "2019" to mark the 50 years since the process of decriminalizing homosexuality in Canada began, and the face value, "10 DOLLARS". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
