This fine silver collectable coin commemorates the birth of Sir John A. Macdonald, an historical Canadian. On July 1, 1867, the Dominion of Canada was created, and Sir John Alexander Macdonald, a key architect of Canadian Confederation, became the new nation's first Prime Minister. Knighted by Queen Victoria for his role in Canadian Confederation, Sir John A. Macdonald led the nation until his death in 1891, with only a single interruption in his leadership, from 1873 to 1878. Macdonald's tireless work sowed the seeds of the sovereign nation of Canada.
