Description
The smiling elf works among snowy trees, crafting handmade homes for little chickadees. This delightful 99.99% pure silver coin captures the beauty of winter and the spirit of holiday giving. The Royal Canadian Mint’s highly popular Face Value series gets into the holiday spirit with the latest addition to the $25 for $25 collection.
The Design:
The reverse design by Canadian artist Jesse Koreck features a holiday elf building birdhouses in the woods. The image centres on the smiling, pointy-eared elf as he hammers the final touches on his latest creation. The tiny, bearded figure wears a green hat, coat, and pants, all trimmed with fluffy white fur. His whimsical gold boots end in long, curled toes. The elf’s skin, clothing, boots, mallet, and latest birdhouse are coloured. The elf rests on a tree stump, a small lantern glowing beside him. His toolbox rests at his feet and a chickadee on the ground nearby gazes up at him as he works. Two other bird houses hang in the quiet winter woods behind the elf. A second chickadee perches on one of these little houses.
Makes a thoughtful gift or excellent addition to any collection featuring holiday themes, face value coins, or Canadiana.
