1 oz 2025 Allegories of Justice and Truth Silver Coin | Royal Canadian Mint

Own an engraved 1 oz. version of the 2025 Allegories of Justice and Truth coin.

There can be no justice without truth, so combining allegorical representations of both into one design is a fitting way to pay tribute to the Supreme Court of Canada on its 150ᵗʰ anniversary. This 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin shares a design with the 2025 $50 Allegories of Justice and Truth coin, but instead of being rendered in 3D form, the gold-plated figures of Justice and Truth have been carefully engraved and finely sculpted on this coin’s reverse, demonstrating that both concepts work in tandem to ensure justice and equity for all.

Same allegorical design, different execution.

COIN HIGHLIGHTS

• An engraved version of the 2025 allegory coin. The reverse of this 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin features an engraved version of the 2025 $50 Allegories of Justice and Truth coin’s 3D silver-cast design.
• A tribute to Justice and Truth. On the occasion of the 150ᵗʰ anniversary of the Supreme Court of Canada, this coin’s allegorical design was inspired by Walter S. Allward’s statues of Ivstitia (Justice) and Veritas (Truth), which stand vigil over the front steps of the Court’s building in Ottawa.
• Finely sculpted. The number of engraved details is impressive, and every engraved element imbues this design with symbolic meaning.
• Low mintage. Only 7,500 coins are available to collectors worldwide.
• Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.

PACKAGING

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.

AN UPDATED LOOK

This intricate design is a contemporary take on the classic representations of Justice and Truth: the idea was to maintain the original look of the statues, but with a more active body language to help tell the story.

GOLD PLATING

The allegorical figures, the effigy on the obverse, and the rim on both sides are all plated with yellow gold.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Supreme Court of Canada was created in 1875, more than a century after the first courts were established in what is now Canada. It eventually became the final court of appeal in Canada, and it is the world’s only bilingual (English and French), bijural (common and civil law) top court.

The coin’s reverse is an engraved version of the 3D allegorical representations of Justice and Truth featured on the 2025 $50 Allegories of Justice and Truth coin designed by Canadian artist Rebecca Yanovskaya. Inspired by Walter S. Allward’s statues Ivstitia (Justice) and Veritas (Truth) located in front of the Supreme Court of Canada building in Ottawa, the gold-plated figures of Justice and Truth are surrounded by a laurel wreath while standing on a podium marked with the letters “SC” (for “Supreme Court”)—a nod to the Cormier Emblem, the Supreme Court’s historic badge, on the institution’s 150ᵗʰ anniversary. The emblem also inspired the laurel wreath that encircles Justice and Truth, who has extended her arm to support Truth while holding forth the Sword of Justice. On the outer ring, laurel branches unfurl around the figures, protecting and emboldening them to fulfill their purpose, while a scroll banner bears the words “JUSTITIA ET VERITAS”—the name of the allegories, but also the Court’s motto. The obverse features the gold-plated effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
