On the 75th anniversary of the United Nations (UN), Canada's 2020 $1 circulation coin celebrates our nation's role as a Founding Member and a contributor to world peace. The special $1 coin commemorative circulation coin highlights Canada's role as global citizens helping to make the world a better place. The reverse design is double dated ("1945-2020") to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the United Nations and its Charter ("UN CHARTER CHARTRE DE L'ONU"). In a nod to the UN logo, a world map within an olive branch wreath is paired with a maple leaf to symbolize Canada's commitment to the UN and its values. The special edition $1 coin features the maple leaf and includes a laser mark of a single maple leaf inscribed in a circle.
