Canada’s Black History Commemorative Is An Inspiring Piece Of Visual Storytelling

2024 marks the return of Canada’s Commemorating Black History series for a sixth year with a new, one-year-only design that pays tribute to Amber Valley. Located about 100 miles north of Edmonton, Amber Valley is the largest of several Alberta communities settled in the early 20th century by Black immigrants to the province from Oklahoma and the Deep South of the United States. Struck in a Troy ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver, this dramatic coin is truly an inspiring piece of visual storytelling, and every engraved detail is rich with historical significance.

Design Pays Tribute To Afro-Canadian Pioneers

This one-year-only $20 legal tender coin was designed by Afro-Canadian comic book artist, illustrator, and designer Valentine De Landro and show a family of Black pioneers superimposed over a wagon train traveling across the Canadian prairie on their way to a new life. Enticed by the Canadian government’s promise of land to homestead, thousands of Black settlers headed north to escape the Jim Crow conditions in the United States that discriminated against their rights. Arriving in Amber Valley in 1909, around 300 Black settlers worked hard to establish a thriving community, blazing a trail as they built a rich legacy through their achievements.

A Dazzling Symbol Of Canada

This amazing coin also comes in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. Its finely engraved design captures the spirit of Amber Valley and honors the Black pioneers who persevered through hardships and hostility, facing down discrimination as they established a foundation for future generations. 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 behind the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.
