This stunning coin captures all the magnificence of icebergs in a glimmering hologram. As you tilt the coin, the distinct colouring of ice will appear. You’ll marvel at the thousands of years it took for enough snow to build up and create an ice cap several kilometers thick! When the earth warmed, frozen seas turned to water. And as waves crashed against the shore, the edge of this gargantuan ice cap gradually broke off. Carried by ocean currents, this great island of ice would eventually appear off the coast of Newfoundland a breathtaking sight that you can enjoy whenever you look at this stunning coin. With its perfect combination of hologram imagery and 99.99% pure silver,the thrill of the ice will come to life
