2020 $1 Canadian Peace Dollar PF70 NGC-Susan Taylor Sig.

The 2020 Canada $1 Peace Dollar Ultra High Relief Silver Coin is a beautifully executed modern tribute to peace and classical design, issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. Struck in 99.99% pure silver, this coin contains 30.76 grams of silver and features a diameter of 36.15 mm with an approximate thickness of 3 mm. The ultra high relief format gives the design exceptional depth and sculptural presence, elevating it beyond traditional proof coinage. This example is certified a perfect PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC, carries the desirable First Day of Issue designation, and features an authentic hand-signed label from designer Susan Taylor.

The obverse showcases a refined and classical portrait of Lady Peace, designed by Susan Taylor. The figure is depicted in profile, adorned with a laurel wreath, symbolizing victory and harmony. Surrounding inscriptions include “A MARI USQUE AD MARE,” Canada’s national motto meaning “From Sea to Sea,” along with “PAX” and the year “2020.” The ultra high relief striking enhances the delicate details of the hair, wreath, and facial features, creating a lifelike and elegant presentation against deeply mirrored fields.

The reverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, presented in a clean and modern style. Inscriptions read “ELIZABETH II,” “CANADA,” and “DOLLAR,” framing the portrait with balanced simplicity. The frosted finish of the effigy contrasts sharply with the reflective background, emphasizing the precision of the strike and the quality of the proof finish.

This coin is highly collectible due to its artistic significance, innovative ultra high relief format, and association with peace-themed coinage. The inclusion of a Susan Taylor hand-signed label adds a personal connection to the coin’s designer, further enhancing its appeal. With its flawless PF70 grade, First Day of Issue designation, and elegant design, this piece stands as a standout addition to any modern silver or commemorative coin collection.
