Seated on the \"throne\" of the Canadian Shield, \u003cem\u003eMiss Canada\u003c\/em\u003e is classically dressed, wearing a crown of maple leaves, her right hand open in a welcoming gesture, and holding a staff in her left. An eagle flies overhead an image of a jumping fish. The base of the image is decorated with a garland composed of more than 25 species of Canadian leaves. The reverse is engraved with the word \"CANADA,\" the date \"2013\" and the face value of \"3 DOLLARS\".  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eMiss Canada\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eFemale allegories have long been featured on coinage around the world. Now, a powerful figure from Canada's past is making a comeback: the historic \u003cem\u003eMiss Canada\u003c\/em\u003e icon. A visual representation of national values and identity who first appeared after Confederation, \u003cem\u003eMiss Canada\u003c\/em\u003e appeared in everything from political cartoons to political advertising, literature and film. She was originally portrayed as \u003cem\u003eBritannia's\u003c\/em\u003e youthful and obedient daughter-but as Canada's role and international relationships changed over time, so too did the symbolism associated with this icon. Miss Canada was withdrawn from public use shortly after the Second World War.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eITEM SPECIFACTIONS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tmx-pdp__spec\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-block font-weight-bold\"\u003eComposition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-block mt-1\"\u003e95% copper, 5% zinc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tmx-pdp__spec\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-block font-weight-bold\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-block mt-1\"\u003e9.2 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tmx-pdp__spec\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-block font-weight-bold\"\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-block mt-1\"\u003e35.75 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tmx-pdp__spec\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-block font-weight-bold\"\u003eEdge :\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-block mt-1\"\u003eplain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tmx-pdp__spec\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-block font-weight-bold\"\u003eFinish: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-block mt-1\"\u003eproof\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tmx-pdp__spec\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-block font-weight-bold\"\u003eArtist: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-block mt-1\"\u003eLaurie McGaw (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51179762811012,"sku":"125761","price":44.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/623932048867_700x__41829.1694975643.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759813273","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2013-3-bronze-coin-canada-an-allegory","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
