• The one-cent coin: This coin showcases an **Art Nouveau-inspired design** by Canadian artist Gustav Hahn (1866-1962), adorned with a bough of maple leaves encircling the commemorative dates “1867-2017”.
• The five-cent coin: Designed by J.E.H. MacDonald (1873-1932), it features a crowned lion gripping a maple leaf on a rock, symbolizing Canada’s diverse landscape. The motto “A MARI USQUE AD MARE” (“From Sea to Sea”) is inscribed beneath the lion’s forepaw, along with the commemorative dates “1867” and “2017”.
• The twenty-five cent coin: The reverse showcases another design by MacDonald, highlighting a soaring view of the iconic **Peace Tower** on Parliament Hill, surrounded by a laurel ribbon and four bells, commemorating the **Dominion Carillon** inaugurated in 1927. The bells are inscribed with numbers forming the dates “2017” and “1867”. The obverse features an effigy of **King George V**, who reigned from 1910 to 1936.
