1 oz Silver 75th Anniversary of the National Ballet of Canada Gold-Plated Coin (2026)

A golden egg, a magical entrance, and a holiday tradition that has captivated generations.

One of the most famous ballet stories, The Nutcracker is a cherished tradition that marks the beginning of the holiday season. Shaped to echo the golden egg from which the Sugar Plum Fairy emerges, this selectively gold-plated fine silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint invites you to discover (or re-discover) the wonder of The Nutcracker, an annual production that is part of the repertory of The National Ballet of Canada.

Since its founding in 1951, the Toronto-based company has been a cornerstone of Canadian cultural life. That enduring legacy is reflected in this fine silver coin, which celebrates the dancers and dreamers who have kept this dazzling holiday tradition alive.  It commemorates 75 years of a company that has brought the magic of The Nutcracker to generations of Canadians.
