Canada decides to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the appointment of Kathleen "Kit" Coleman as the first accredited female war correspondent in North America, for this, it has issued a sterling silver Proof quality coin.
Kit Coleman was an intrepid and trailblazing reporter who rose above the predominantly male competition in the newspaper industry, covering a wide variety of topics as women journalists were limited to writing only on what was considered "women's issues." ».
She made history by becoming the first accredited female war correspondent in North America. In addition, she also helped found the "Canadian Women's Press Club" in 1904, of which she was its first president, and later became Canada's first syndicated columnist.
The reverse of the coin features the silhouette of Kathleen "Kit" Blake Coleman with an open notebook and pen. Within that silhouette are several elements that represent her life and career: The Mail and Empire Building in Toronto, Ontario, the SS Circassian, the passenger ship that brought the writer to Canada in 1884, a map of the Atlantic Ocean, for depicting Coleman's travels, a blueprint of Coleman writing at his desk, and an antique typewriter symbolizing his legacy in Canadian journalism.
The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the work of Susanna Blunt, together with a special mark that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coinage, and the double date of her reign.
