Description
Nothing can keep Canadians from the joy of a pristine snow-covered hill or freshly cleared patch of ice. While this 2011 half ounce pure silver $10 coin may feature snowy winter scenes, the image is heartwarming and magical, capturing some of the exceptional beauty and fun of winter in Canada. Mintage 8,000. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
Since ice skating was first introduced to North America in the eighteenth century, learning to skate has been a coming-of-age ritual for millions of Canadian children. This charming scene features Little Skaters as they struggle to keep their balance as they slide across a frozen pond. A sprig of holly and red berries across the bottom of the coin add the colours of the season to the imagery.
