COMMEMORATING BLACK HISTORY: This is the sixth coin in our annual Commemorating Black History series, which honours the enormous contributions that Black Canadians have made—and continue to make—to Canada’s story. It is a celebration of resilience, innovation and determination.

CELEBRATING THE SPIRIT OF AMBER VALLEY: Crafted in 1 oz. of 99.99% pure silver, this coin pays tribute to the community of Amber Valley, one of the largest all-Black settlements in western Canada in the early 20th century.

AN IMPORTANT STORY: This is the first time Amber Valley has been highlighted on a Mint coin, and its reverse design combines different engraved images to create a compelling snapshot in time and a glimpse of Amber Valley’s past.

HIGHLY INTRICATE DESIGN: From the ornamental flourishes to the representation of some of Amber Valley’s earliest buildings, every engraved detail has historical meaning.

THE FOCUS IS ON HISTORY: To keep the focus on the Amber Valley community, the only word engraved on the reverse is “CANADA”—the date and face value are inscribed on the obverse.

MAPLE LEAF PATTERN: As with previous Commemorating Black History coins, the 2024 edition features a symbol of Canada on its obverse, where the maple leaf forms a repeating pattern that fills the field.

LOW MINTAGE: Only 5,500 coins are available to collectors worldwide.

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