# 198 - 40th Anniversary of the Canadian Flag

in #steemsilvergold6 years ago (edited)

On February 15, 1965 Canada's new flag was raised for the first time in an official ceremony on Parliament Hill.

It incorporated red and white, Canada's national colours that had been proclaimed in 1921 and the Maple Leaf, recognized as a symbol of Canada since the early days of fur trading.

In 2005 RCM issued a coin to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Canadian Flag.

Inside the box we find an interactive CD-ROM that shows us the History of Canada, the History of the Flag and the National Anthem.

The coin depicts Canada's national flag surrounded by the Peace Tower of Parliament and celebration fireworks.

It weights 25.175g and has 99.99% silver purity with Brilliant Uncirculated finish.

I had never seen a CD-ROM with a coin. Interesting idea.

It is good to know more about Canadian History.

My friend, these characters that you put in your comment: what is the meaning and how did you write them?

They are just emojis from my iPhone keyboard. I included a picture here if they did not appear properly in the post.

Canadian flag, a maple leaf and pancakes (because pancakes taste best with Canadian maple syrup). Just three Canadian things in honor of the Canadian flag.
