Description
This 2014 half ounce fine silver $10 coins issued by The Royal Canadian Mint focuses on images that makes Canada unique. Canada's national identity is much like its majestic landscape: diverse, storied, and sometimes elusive. In the ever-changing tectonics of Canadian culture, identifiers tend to reflect the nation's natural assets and social and political institutions. Born of this complex background, Canadian icons are distinct because they carry meaning for all Canadians, regardless of where we live or how we came to be here.
The coin is struck in a half ounce of pure silver with a diameter of 34 mm. Total mintage is limited to 40,000. GST/HST exempt.
The Design:
The evocative reverse design by Canadian artist Doug Geldart presents a winter scene that captures the essence of cozy holiday scenery in Canada.
