Hahn’s Flying Goose – 2025 25¢ Lost Designs Silver Coin

Description

The Hahn’s Flying Goose – 2025 25¢ Lost Designs Silver Coin is the fourth release in the Royal Canadian Mint’s prestigious Lost Designs from the Archives Masters Club series. This issue revives an unused 1936 coin concept by renowned Canadian sculptor Emanuel Hahn, bringing one of his forgotten fauna designs from the archives onto a modern collector coin.

Faithfully struck in 2 troy ounces of 99.99% pure silver, this proof coin reproduces Hahn’s elegant vision of a Canada goose in flight, set against a star-filled sky. The original “1936” date appears on the reverse, preserving the historical context of the design proposal. New for 2025, selective yellow gold plating enhances key elements of the artwork, adding warmth, contrast, and visual depth to this archival rarity.

Available exclusively to Masters Club members and issued in strictly limited numbers, this coin offers collectors a rare opportunity to own a selectively gilded version of a design that was never released into circulation.
