"O Canada" was first performed on June 24, 1880-100 years (almost to the day) before it became our national anthem.

Composed by Calixa Lavallée, "O Canada" quickly became popular in the province of Quebec. The original French lyrics by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier are the same ones we sing today. While the melody has always been the same, several English versions of "O Canada" were introduced prior to 1980. The most recent change came in 2018, when "in all thy sons command" was modified to "in all of us command" to ensure gender parity. Your coins are individually encapsulated and presented in a single Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
