Whiling away the winter hours skating on an outdoor pond is as Canadian as the maple leaf. This special coin celebrates one of the greatest joys of a Canadian winter.
This coin is certified to be 99.99% pure silver with a diameter of 34 millimetres and a weight of 15.87 grams. The reverse image by Canadian artist Remi Clark features a colourful painted winter scene. In the foreground, stylized figures-including parents, grandparents, and small children-skate and sled across a frozen pond. The children, bundled against the winter cold, dart across the ice, scarves flying behind them.
The pond is surrounded by soft round snowbanks lined with snow-covered evergreen trees. In the background, snowy paths carved out of the white hillsides lead to cozy homes, roofs piled with white snow. In the distant background, hilly blue highlands lead to a distant frozen field flanked by blue-white mountains in the distance
Special Features:
- Coin design by noted Quebec artist Remi Clark, who's previous coin design on the 2011 Winter Scene coin sold out.
- Selective painting brings the dynamic energy of the scene to life, while exposing shimmering fine silver underneath.
- An excellent addition to any collection featuring painted coins, winter scenes, nature imagery, or Canadiana.
- An excellent gift to celebrate the joy of Canadian winters, great holiday activities and to mark a special moment and event.
Packaging:
Coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell case lined with flock and protected by a black sleeve.
