The central element is a stylized elephant in traditional dressing and riding blanket embroidered with flowers and vines. The elephant is viewed in profile from its right side, its head facing the right side of the coin. Its long trunk is coiled beneath its neck in a gesture symbolic of longevity. Its ear is decorated with a chrysanthemum in full bloom—a flower that symbolizes ease and good fortune. On the elephant’s back is a vase decorated in elegant detail with various flowers. Beneath the elephant’s belly, the Chinese characters for “peace” are engraved. The elephant and vase are surrounded by various stylized flowers on vines. Each type of flower blooms at a different time through the year. This motif thus extends the blessing offered by the coin to mean “may this blessing continue throughout the year.” The riding blanket bears a central medallion containing a hologram featuring two maple leaves.

These coins were cast from bronze and the holes enabled them to be strung on a cord - 1,000 coins forming the main purchasing unit in use at the time. As the Chinese began to immigrate to Canada during the late 1800's, they quickly proved their worth as capable, hardworking labourers who demanded very little of their employers. They made a significant contribution to the mining and railway industries and were excellent cooks, gardeners and launderers. However, with a language and culture that differed significantly from the European society that dominated 19th-century Canada, assimilation was difficult. Ever resourceful, the Chinese created their own communities and overcame their chronic shortage of funds by using the square-holed coins from their homeland as trade tokens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFace Value: 8 dollars\u003cbr\u003eMintage: 20,000\u003cbr\u003eComposition: 99.99 % silver\u003cbr\u003eWeight(g): 25.18\u003cbr\u003eDiameter(mm): 36.07\u003cbr\u003eEdge: Plain\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Proof\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Features: This coin has a square hole in the centre - a Royal Canadian Mint first! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePackaging: Maroon display case with an insert which houses the encapsulated coin.

This unique coin was inspired by the square-holed coins that came into use in China after 523 B.C. Many believe its round shape symbolized heaven while the square represented earth. These coins were cast from bronze and the holes enabled them to be strung on a cord - 1,000 coins forming the main purchasing unit in use at the time. As the Chinese began to immigrate to Canada during the late 1800's, they quickly proved their worth as capable, hardworking labourers who demanded very little of their employers. They made a significant contribution to the mining and railway industries and were excellent cooks, gardeners and launderers. However, with a language and culture that differed significantly from the European society that dominated 19th-century Canada, assimilation was difficult. Ever resourceful, the Chinese created their own communities and overcame their chronic shortage of funds by using the square-holed coins from their homeland as trade tokens.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Face Value: 8 dollars\u003cbr\u003e Mintage: 20,000\u003cbr\u003e Composition: 99.99 % silver\u003cbr\u003e Weight(g): 25.18\u003cbr\u003e Diameter(mm): 36.07\u003cbr\u003e Edge: Plain\u003cbr\u003e Finish: Proof\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Special Features: This coin has a square hole in the centre - a Royal Canadian Mint first! \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Packaging: Maroon display case with an insert which houses the encapsulated coin.

This unique coin was inspired by the square-holed coins that came into use in China after 523 B.C. Many believe its round shape symbolized heaven while the square represented earth. These coins were cast from bronze and the holes enabled them to be strung on a cord - 1,000 coins forming the main purchasing unit in use at the time. As the Chinese began to immigrate to Canada during the late 1800's, they quickly proved their worth as capable, hardworking labourers who demanded very little of their employers. They made a significant contribution to the mining and railway industries and were excellent cooks, gardeners and launderers. However, with a language and culture that differed significantly from the European society that dominated 19th-century Canada, assimilation was difficult.
