Description
This 2014 $25 one ounce, fine silver coin is part of the Royal Canadian Mint's "O Canada" series which showcases coins with beloved Canadian imagery. Here we see the pastime of skiing, an activity that originates back to (potentially) 4500 B.C.E! Originally used by ancient Scandinavians as a method of moving across snow-covered land more efficiently, it remained a practical method of transportation until about 1860, when it began to be enjoyed recreationally. This coin is offered in the low mintage of just 8,500 and polished to proof-perfection, ensuring it will be prized by Royal Canadian Mint enthusiasts across the board. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
Your coin was designed by Canadian artist Kendra Dixson and features a downhill skier enjoying a run down the mountain. In Canada, each winter thousands of skiers can't wait to experience the snow and the winterwonderland and beautiful terrain that Canada offers.
