1 oz 2026 Canada's National Parks: Torngat Mountains National Park Colourized Proof Silver Coin | Royal Canadian Mint

Welcome to Torngat Mountain National Park—take a seat and take in the view.

Its name comes from the Inuktitut word Tongait, meaning “place of spirits,” and those acquainted with its spectacular landscapes know that Torngat Mountains National Park is a place like no other. Located on the northern tip of the Labrador Peninsula, the park’s remoteness has long kept its magnificent peaks and glacier-carved inlets hidden from the rest of the world, for there are no roads here—only 9,700 square kilometres of untamed northern wilderness and unparalleled beauty.

New for 2026: The first coin in the Canada’s National Parks series brings you an incredible (and colourful) view from Torngat Mountains National Park, where the echoes of ancient footsteps and thousands of years of Inuit cultural tradition have consecrated this sacred place.

Coin #1: A northern national park is RCM's first stop.

DID YOU KNOW?

Home to the tallest peaks east of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Torngat Mountains National Park was first established as a national park reserve in 2005 as a result of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement, and with the signing of the Nunavik Inuit Land Claim Agreement, it became a national park in 2008. It is cooperatively managed by the Inuit of Nunatsiavut, the Inuit of Nunavik and Parks Canada.

Designed by Nunatsiavut artist Bronson Jacque, your coin’s reverse invites you to take a seat and enjoy the view from Torngat Mountains National Park, located on the northern tip of the Labrador Peninsula. The engraved setting is a U-shaped glacier valley, and the scene depicts a lone caribou lifting its head to the sky as the aurora borealis colourfully lights up the night. Selective colour also highlights two red Adirondack chairs—a familiar sight in Canada’s national parks. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
