Following a call from the Royal Canadian Mint in 1965, Alex Colville submitted designs along with several other artists for the proposed 1967 Confederation Centennial coinage. Colville's straightforward yet finely-detailed designs featured common Canadian animals, which quickly captured the mint's attention and secured a commission to design the Centennial set from Cent to Dollar. The six coins that made up the Colville series would go on to appear regularly in the pockets and wallets of Canadians, and in this way can be considered the largest-edition and most widely disseminated Canadian artwork ever produced.
