A legendary Canadian jazz pianist will be featured on a new run of $1 circulation coins, the Royal Canadian Mint has announced.

The coins will commemorate Oscar Peterson, dubbed “the man with four hands” by jazz great Louis Armstrong. The coin was unveiled Thursday at Toronto’s Roy Thompson Hall in front of family and friends and will enter circulation on Aug. 15, Peterson’s birthday.

Peterson was born in Montreal in 1925 and became one of the most acclaimed jazz musicians of all time. He made more than 400 recordings in his 60-year career and his famous Oscar Peterson Trio performed around the world.
