Canaveral with a crew of seven—including neurologist Dr. Roberta Bondar, M.D.,
Ph.D., who holds the distinction of being Canada’s first female astronaut. The
Royal Canadian Mint is proud to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Dr. Bondar’s
historic mission with this fine silver coin, whose convex shape provides the
perfect canvas for recreating a view that is out of this world!

SPECIAL FEATURES
DESIGN
The reverse design by Canadian artist Alexandra Lefort combines color with
glow-in-the-dark effects to recreate a breathtaking view of Earth from space.
The partial view of the Western Hemisphere places the focus on North
America—specifically Canada—while the application of color captures the nuances
that characterize the different regions, and the different blues that mark the
ocean depth. Within the outer band that frames the field, the 25th anniversary
of Dr. Roberta Bondar’s historic space mission is commemorated by the number
“25” and a miniature depiction of the space shuttle Discovery, as it appeared
on Dr. Bondar’s personal mission crest.
