Where it came from
The 2017 Canadian 5-cent coin featuring the 'Living Traditions' motif was minted as part of a special commemorative series marking the 150th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation. This specific design was intended to celebrate Canada's multicultural heritage and the enduring connection between the country and the British monarchy, represented by the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
The reverse design was crafted to reflect themes of unity and historical legacy, utilizing classic iconography typical of the Royal Canadian Mint's commemorative output. While the circulation coins of this era maintained traditional motifs, the 2017 anniversary collection was designed to evoke a sense of national pride and historical continuity, receiving appreciation from numismatists for its high-quality finish and its role in documenting a significant milestone in Canadian history.
