Sir John A. Macdonald - Coin by Royal Canadian Mint

The Royal Canadian Mint proudly celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birth of our nation’s primary architect and first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. For the occasion, a two-dollar circulation coin was unveiled during community celebrations in Kingston, Ontario on January 11, 2015.

Five million of this commemorative coin began to circulate across Canada on Monday, January 12, 2015.
In addition to the two-dollar circulation coin, the Royal Canadian Mint has produced three striking collector coins, in silver and in gold, in tribute to Sir John A. on this milestone anniversary.
