The stunning coin was designed by artist Rebecca Yanovskaya. The allegorical figure of Peace represents Canada’s longstanding commitment to peace.

这枚令人惊叹的硬币是由艺术家丽贝卡·亚诺夫斯卡娅 (Rebecca Yanovskaya) 设计的。和平的寓言形象代表了加拿大对和平的长期承诺。

On the coin’s reverse is a three-dimensional sculpture of a winged figure of Peace suspended within its outer ring.

硬币的背面是一个三维雕塑，其外圈内悬挂着一个带翅膀的和平雕像。

“The absence of a field surrounding the image of Peace has allowed the miniature sculpture to be viewed from both the sides of the coin,” according to the Mint.

据造币厂称，“和平图像周围没有区域，因此可以从硬币的两面观看微型雕塑”。

Cast in pure silver and plated with gold, Peace is framed by olive branches as she stands atop the world with her wings slightly curled over protectively.

和平以纯银铸造，镀金，周围环绕着橄榄枝，她站在世界之巅，翅膀微微卷曲以提供保护。

She wears a crown of maple leaves and cradles a globe in one hand and an olive wreath in the other.

她头戴枫叶王冠，一手捧着地球仪，另一只手捧着橄榄花环。

The allegory is surrounded by an outer ring made of pure silver with an antique finish. It features a motif composed of doves carrying an arrangement of olive and maple leaf branches.

这个寓言被一个纯银制成的外环包围着，并具有古董般的饰面。它的图案由携带橄榄叶和枫叶树枝的鸽子组成。

That motif repeats on the obverse side, which features a rear view of the cast figure.

该图案在正面重复出现，正面是演员的后视图。
