EXPERIENCE THE ROYAL
These coins' reverse design highlights some of the exciting experiences to be had at The Royal, Canada’s premier showcase of agricultural products and horsemanship.
A TRIBUTE TO THE PAST
On each coin’s reverse, the agriculture-themed tribute has been rendered in an Art Deco style—a nod to The Royal’s inaugural year, 1922.
DID YOU KNOW?
- With a few exceptions, the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair takes place every November in Toronto. It is held on the grounds of Exhibition Place, where the iconic Coliseum was built for the inaugural fair—in fact, the fair’s grand opening was originally planned for 1921, but it was postponed to November 22, 1922, due to construction delays.
- The idea of a national agricultural exhibition took shape after the First World War when a group of farmers came together and formed the Agricultural Winter Fair Association of Canada. In 1920, it received full support from all levels of government, and King George V granted permission to include the word “Royal” in the event name.
- The Royal Horse Show is held annually as part of the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. A world-class equestrian competition, it is the final leg of the North American Fall Circuit and typically features a star-studded field of top national and international riders.
DESIGN & ARTIST
On the coin’s reverse, the Art Deco-style design by artist Glen Green highlights some of the sights and events that have made the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair a premier showcase of agricultural and equestrian excellence. An array of livestock (chicken, sheep, cow and horse) and agricultural products surround a rider and horse as they compete in the Royal Horse Show; behind them, The Royal logo appears on a champion rosette. The reverse includes the word “CANADA” at the top, while at the bottom, the dates “1922·2022” commemorate The Royal’s 100TH anniversary. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
“It has been an honour to create a coin that celebrates something this world-class event. Which has been a part of Canada’s history for 100 years. The challenge for this piece was to accurately incorporate the elements that represent different facets of the exhibition. Not only does The Royal reflect the diversity of Canada’s agricultural community, it’s also an inspiring representation of Canada’s quest for inclusiveness—it truly has something for everyone.” GLEN GREEN, ARTIST
“We celebrate with pride The Royal’s tremendous 100 year history. The Royal’s legacy of recognizing and elevating the very best in Canadian agriculture, local food, and equine sport is long, and we are committed to the on-going evolution of sustainable farming and food production in Canada. This remarkable coin captures the very heart of The Royal-- all the things that weave together to make The Royal a truly special event. Please join us this year in honouring our great past, while embracing the future. " SHELLEY PETERSON, PRESIDENT AND CHAIR OF THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL WINTER FAIR
