On July 1, 1980, the Canadian Parliment decided to adopt the song "O Canada!" as the national anthem. This coin commemorates that song, featuring the notation for the first few opening notes on the reverse.
My dad gave me this coin from his personal collection when I started collecting in 2010. I had it graded in 2012 for inclusion in my Symphony Set.
