New Coin! 2017 $20 FINE SILVER COIN CANOE TO TRANQUIL TIMES

This coin pays tribute to the enduring, engaging canoe—an ingenious creation from the past that is now a modern icon of Canada. Canoeing reconnects people with nature in ways unmatched by any other watercraft. As you paddle in silence, you are experiencing Canada the same way as the first European explorers, and countless Aboriginal people who travelled North America’s vast waterways for thousands of years before.

The second Mint offering to feature a wood piece, the construction of the coin employs selective colour and laser etching to amp up the realism. The canoe dominates the reverse of the coin, while in the background, a rocky shoreline with dense vegetation and twig of coloured maple leaves highlights the design’s Canadian roots. In the foreground, two canoe paddles rest against the rocks of a small sandy niche that has provided the perfect spot to come ashore.

This truly original piece is available in-store and online for the Mint-issue price of 124.95.
