Celebrate Canada in a unique, colourful way with this 3 oz. fine silver collage.
Canada in colour! Gorgeous grasslands, show-stopping shorelines, mighty mountains, and more—all of these breathtaking places exist within our borders, and each contains its own assortment of beautiful flora and fauna. Inspired by the Royal Canadian Mint's classic circulation coin designs, this 3 oz. coin’s colour-over-engraved portrait celebrates the diversity of our landscapes through the seasons, and it’s all framed by the mighty maple leaf that proudly identifies Canada to the world.
Iconic wildlife and landscapes come together to represent Canada as a whole.

VIBRANT COLOURS

A NOD TO ROYAL CANADIAN MINT'S CIRCULATION COINS
Take a close look at the animals featured here: they’re based on the Royal Canadian Mint's animal-themed circulation coin designs! The polar bear ($2), the loon ($1), the caribou (25 cents) and the beaver (5 cents) are each depicted in their natural habitat.
DID YOU KNOW?
- If you’re hoping to see the aurora borealis in person, nature’s most colourful light show is best viewed between September and April in Northern Canada. Yellowknife, N.T. is a prime Canadian destination for viewing these “Northern Lights” on a clear night, but it’s possible to catch a glimpse of it from elsewhere in Canada during a period of heightened geomagnetic activity.
- The famous Niagara Falls are actually three separate waterfalls that straddle the Canada-United States border—the largest one, the Horseshoe Falls (featured on this coin), is mostly located on the Canadian side. In the summer, more than 168,000 cubic metres of water rush over the falls every minute during peak hours (the flow is impacted by nearby hydroelectric plants). All of that water erodes the crest of the falls at an estimated rate of 1 foot every year, although it could be reduced further to 1 foot every 10 years.
DESIGN & ARTIST
The reverse design by artist Caitlin Lindstrom-Milne features several engraved maple leaves in the breeze; these form a backdrop to a larger maple leaf, which gives shape to a colour-over-engraved collage of iconic Canadian landscapes and fauna. These famous sights are, clockwise from the top: the aurora borealis; the Canadian Rocky Mountains; a forest in autumn; Niagara Falls; the red cliffs of Prince Edward Island; wheat fields representing the Prairie Provinces; Arctic glaciers; and a quiet lake setting. The animals from Canada’s circulation coins (the caribou, beaver, polar bear and loon) are also depicted in their natural habitat, while the bottom of the design is edged with wildflowers—bunchberry (Cornus canadensis), fireweed (Chamerion angustifolium) and the western red lily (Lilium philadelphicum). The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
“I took a surrealistic approach to this piece by having different elements of the Canadian landscapes blending into one another to create one harmonious illustration. It was an exciting challenge to capture Canada through the seasons, and I did this by utilizing warm and cool tones throughout the design while maintaining a nice balance.” CAITLIN LINDSTROM-MILNE, ARTIST Alicia Cook Sapene, Product Manager, Royal Canadian Mint
“Nature is one of Canada's greatest gifts! With this coin design, we wanted to capture the natural splendour of this land by featuring several awe-inspiring landscapes within the shape of our beloved maple leaf. It was a real joy working with Caitlin to bring this vision to life.” ALICIA COOK SAPENE, PRODUCT MANAGER, ROYAL CANADIAN MINT
PACKAGING
Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
