2025 $20 Fine Silver Canadian Diversity Strength and Abundance - Italian Heritage Coin

This 2025 $20 one-ounce fine silver coin combines exceptional art representing Canadian cultures and traditions with an alluring simulated Italian red coral gemstone and a low mintage of just 5,500 pieces. More than 500 years after Italian explorer John Cabot first reached these shores, Canada is home to one of the largest Italian diasporas in the world, with over 1.5 million Canadians claiming Italian ancestry. Generations of Italian Canadians have influenced Canada's cultural and economic fabric with contributions to literature, music, science and more, and the many "Little Italy" neighbourhoods remain proud symbols of community, strength and an abundance of customs that are steeped in history.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Tony Bianco combines design elements drawn from Italian heritage to form a symbolic representation of the Italian-Canadian community. It centres on the five-pointed symbol of Italy, the Stella d'Italia, which is topped with simulated Italian red coral. Between the Roman columns emanating from the star points, a Renaissance-style pattern includes two elements inspired by the emblem of the Italian Republic: the oak leaf that symbolizes strength, and the olive branch representing peace and abundance. The five columns support a row of arches that form the outer edge; inspired by the Roman Colosseum, these arches frame the repeating Stella d'Italia and the Canadian maple leaf that represent two cultures coming together. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
