PR number: 94363
OTTAWA, ON, Feb. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Stories of great achievement often find their way on Royal Canadian Mint coins
and to mark the 175th anniversary of the birth of famed inventor Alexander
Graham Bell, the Mint is dedicating its 2022 Proof Silver Dollar to his legacy
of innovation and life-long commitment to science. Born in Scotland, Bell
settled with his family in Brantford, Ontario, where he developed a passion for
problem-solving at an early age, which sparked his interest in science. After
inventing the telephone in 1876, he later built an estate near Baddeck on Cape
Breton Island, Nova Scotia. It is there that he collaborated on more
innovations, such as the Silver Dart, Canada's first powered airplane, and
futuristic hydrofoil marine craft that blazed the waters of Bras D'Or Lake.

This year's Proof Silver Dollar features a word-art profile of Bell speaking
into his breakthrough invention that forever changed global communications.
The creative assortment of words that describe aspects of his personal life and
character, as well as his many innovations create a revealing portrait of one
of the world's greatest inventors. This exceptional coin, along with the 2022
Fine Silver Proof Set featuring the same artistic rendition of Bell, can be
