This 99.99% pure gold coin's reverse highlights Bell's contributions to two scientific milestones achieved in Canada: the first powered aircraft to fly in Canada, the Silver Dart; and the record-setting HD-4 hydrofoil.

Special Features
A celebration of innovation! The year 2022 marks the 175TH anniversary of the birth of Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922), whose interests and ideas left an indelible mark on Canada's history of innovation.
Complete the story! A larger, 99.99% pure gold version of the 2022 commemorative $1 coin, this premium collectible completes the story that began on the 2022 Proof Dollar. It features a portrait of the inventor in his later years, when much of his research work was done at Baddeck, N.S.
Two scientific milestones! Your coin's engraved reverse highlights Bell's contributions to two scientific milestones achieved in Canada: the first powered aircraft to fly in Canada, the Silver Dart; and the HD-4 hydrofoil that set a new world record for marine speed.
Symbolic wave! Both the HD-4 and the Silver Dart made history on Nova Scotia's Bras d'Or Lake. The Cape Breton locale that served as Bell's setting for experimentation is represented by the waves on your coin's reverse.
