Canada. Latest Silver Proof and Colour Coins Launch New National Parks Series

New for 2026, the first coin in the Canada’s National Parks series brings an incredible and colourful view from a different region of Canada, and deep into one of the 37 national parks and 11 national park reserves. The first coin in this four-coin series highlights Torngat Mountains National Park, located to the furthest northern point or peninsula in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Echoes of ancient footsteps and thousands of years of Inuit cultural tradition have consecrated this sacred place. Its name comes from the Inuktitut word Tongait, meaning ‘place of spirits’ and those acquainted with its spectacular landscapes know that Torngat Mountains National Park is a place like no other. The park’s remoteness has long kept its magnificent peaks and glacier-carved inlets hidden from the rest of the world, since there are no roads and only 9700 square kilometres or, 3745 square miles of untamed northern wilderness and unparalleled beauty.

Home to the tallest peaks east of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Torngat Mountains National Park was first established as a national park reserve in 2005 as a result of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement, becoming a national park in 2008. It is cooperatively managed by the Inuit of Nunatsiavut, the Inuit of Nunavik and Parks Canada.

Designed by Nunatsiavut artist Bronson Jacque, the coin’s reverse offers a front seat to enjoy the view from Torngat Mountains National Park. The engraved setting is a U-shaped glacier valley, and the scene depicts a lone caribou lifting its head to the sky as the aurora borealis colourfully lights up the night. Selective colour also highlights two red Adirondack chairs—a familiar sight in Canada’s national parks. These Adirondack chairs are found in over 100 locations administered by Parks Canada, the agency that manages Canada’s national parks, historic sites and marine conservation areas. Above the primary design is the text CANADA and below off to the left side is the inscription TORNGAT MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK. To the right is the inscription PARC NATIONAL DES MONTS-TORNGAT. The obverse side includes the effigy of HM King Charles III created by Canadian artist Steven Rosati and depicts the King facing to the left surrounded by the legend CHARLES III 2026 D G REX. The denomination 20 DOLLARS is placed below the King’s likeness along the lower rim.

Available from the 12th February, each coin is encapsulated and presented in a matte black custom case accompanied with a certificate of authenticity. The four-coin series is also available as a subscription for Canadian and United States collectors.
