2024 $1 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF L.M. MONTGOMERY WRAP ROLL UNCOLOURED

L. M. Montgomery (1874-1942), one of Canada’s most enduringly popular authors, has influenced culture and literature internationally. Publishing hundreds of short stories and poems in addition to 20 novels, she achieved lasting fame through the creation of one of the world’s unforgettable characters: a plucky, talkative orphan girl with red braids, big feelings and imagination, and the same deep love for Prince Edward Island as her creator.

The 2024 $1 commemorative circulation coin pays tribute to L. M. Montgomery, a Canadian literary icon whose writing is treasured by millions worldwide. On the 150th anniversary of her birth, the creator of Anne of Green Gables is the first author to be featured on a Canadian circulation coin, and, fittingly, its design celebrates her creativity. Each Special Wrap Roll contains 25 coins with the same engraved view of L. M. Montgomery and the fictional Anne Shirley, as well as the idyllic Prince Edward Island landscape that connects them.

The easiest way to own the 2024 L. M. Montgomery $1 coin.
