The catalog description[1] noted, "CANADA: Elizabeth II, 1952-2022, AR 5 dollars, 2014, Lion on the Mountain, contains 0.739 troy ounce of pure silver, with COA and original Royal Canadian Mint case of issue, Proof. From the Royal Canadian Mint, 'The design on this coin is an engraved reproduction of the 'Lion on the Mountain' vignette which appeared on the $50 note issued by the Northern Crown Bank in 1908 and 1914. The Northern Crown Bank was based in Manitoba, and had 111 branches when it was bought out by the Royal Bank in 1918. Until the late 1930s, most banknotes circulating in Canada in denominations of $5 and higher were issued by the chartered banks, and this was the primary paper money of Canada. As these banknotes essentially provided the banks with an interest free loan and source of funding, they actively competed to get their notes into circulation, often by including beautiful artwork and interesting vignettes.'"
