OTTAWA, ON, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mint is proud to launch a new silver collector coin honouring the Black Loyalists. Mint engravers meticulously reproduced the armorial bearings of the Black Loyalist Heritage Society as a tribute to the free and enslaved Black people who re-settled to British North America before, during and after the American War of Independence. Many slaves were offered freedom in exchange for joining the British side during the war. After laying down new roots in Lower Canada and the Maritime Provinces, the struggles and achievements of the Black Loyalists and their descendants are an important part of Canadian history, told on a coin available as of today.
'The Mint prides itself in crafting coins that pay tribute to Canada's history, culture and values. That includes celebrating our diversity and acknowledging the difficult chapters of our history,' said Marie Lemay, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. 'We are proud to be issuing our third coin commemorating black history by recognizing the influential role Black Loyalists played in shaping the diverse country we know and love today.'
Black Loyalists faced many hardships and the promise of a better life went unfulfilled. Those who remained in British North America despite the adversity, helped re-define Canada's history and character. Today, the descendants of Black Loyalists can lay claim to an extraordinary legacy of courage and perseverance.
'Black Loyalists and their descendants have helped shape communities from coast to coast to coast from well before this land was even called Canada, and their legacy inspires us to build an even better and consciously more inclusive country,' said the Honourable Bardish Chagger, Minister of Diversity and Inclusion and Youth. 'As we celebrate Black History Month, we recognize the struggles and obstacles that Black communities in Canada have had to overcome and continue to face, and we acknowledge and celebrate the enormous contributions they continue to make to the growth, well-being, and prosperity of this country.'
The coin's reverse features the armorial bearings of the Black Loyalist Heritage Society granted in 2006 by the Canadian Heraldic Authority and designed by Darrel E. Kennedy, Assiniboine Herald.
'As a Black Loyalist descendant, I am proud to say that my ancestors were some of the 3,500 people of African descent who came to Canada in 1783, carrying with pride their Certificate of Freedom,' said Cynthia Dorrington, Site Manager of the Black Loyalist Heritage Centre. 'They settled across Lower Canada, all with the hope of creating a better life for their families. Our rich history has been foundational in shaping Canada's collective history and we are delighted to share it further on a beautiful silver coin.'
On the shield, three Loyalist civil coronets represent the non-combatants who fled to British North America (Canada), while the ship's wheel represents both the past (the ships landing in 1783) and the present (the Society's focus on community development). The lion supporters symbolize the pride of Africa and the courage demonstrated by those who sought a better life in Nova Scotia. Beneath the shield, the province is represented by its official floral emblem, the mayflower, while the rock symbolizes the landings near Birchtown, Nova Scotia. The anchor in the crest honours the sacrifices of the families who undertook the journey, which is represented by the footprints in the mantling. The motto 'THE HEART OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE IS IN YOUR ROOTS' speaks to the Society members' interest in their heritage. The armorial bearings are also flanked by maple leaves.
The obverse features a repeating maple leaf field pattern and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
Limited to a mintage of 5,500, the 2021 $20 Fine Silver Coin Commemorating Black History: The Black Loyalists retails for $99.95. This new collectible may be ordered as of today by contacting the Mint at 1-800-267–1871 in Canada, 1-800-268–6468 in the US, or at www.mint.ca.

Royal Mint Of Canada
As today’s world is becoming increasingly connected, so are the opportunities to collaborate with other mints around the world. Under the leadership of Director David J. Ryder, the U.S. Mint recently announced a new partnership with the Royal Canadian Mint to issue the first-ever limited edition two-coin set, the 2019 Pride of Two Nations, available for purchase on July 3, 2019.
The set is the first joint numismatic product between the two countries, and comes with the first bilingual (English and French) Certificate of Authenticity produced by the U.S. Mint. The set commemorates the United States’ and Canada’s nationhood with coins that capture their rich history, pride, and close relationship as neighbors and partners.

The set includes a United States Mint American Eagle One Ounce Silver Coin with an enhanced reverse proof finish and a Royal Canadian Mint One Ounce Silver Maple Leaf Coin with a modified proof finish. Both finishes are firsts for these coins.
Limited quantities will be available at the American Numismatic Association’s World’s Fair of Money on August 13 through 17, 2019. United States Mint Director David Ryder and Royal Canadian Mint CEO Marie Lemay will be on hand to sign Certificates of Authenticity for the set.
Other Partnerships
In January 2019, the U.S. Mint announced a historic collaboration with the Royal Australian Mint to produce a commemorative coin set in celebration of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing. The coin set includes two coins, one issued by the U.S. Mint and one by the Royal Australian Mint. This unique product represents the longstanding relationship between the two countries while honoring a historical achievement.
“This jointly–issued coin set magnificently symbolizes our long standing alliance and friendship with Australia,” said United States Mint Director David Ryder. “Many Americans will remember listening for the critical reports from the tracking stations in Australia at Carnarvon, Honeysuckle Creek, Tidbinbilla and Parkes, as the Apollo 11 spacecraft traveled to, orbited and landed on the Moon.”
Royal Canadian Mint Coins
This is not the first time the U.S. Mint has collaborated with foreign mints. The Mint consulted with the Royal Australian and Perth Mints, who provided valuable technical insight to develop curved coins for the 2014 National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Program.
