Canada 10 Dollars Silver Coin 2015 Winter Scene
Since the earliest days of settlement, tobogganing has been an integral part of surviving the long Canadian winter. Forget about frozen fingers and toes; this coin’s endearing colour design will lure everyone outdoors for fun-filled adventure, laughter, spills and thrills!
Obverse: Susanna Blunt’s design of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Reverse: This coin features an idyllic winter scene of three children tobogganing behind their house. In the foreground, a child dressed warmly pulls another child on a simple wooden toboggan across a small gully in a snowdrift. With the snowy hillside curving gently upward on the left side of the image and a view of a frozen lake and tree-lined mountains in the far distance, the image conveys the gentle rolling hilly terrain familiar to so many Canadians. Just behind the children, another child is captured mid-tumble, a small sled flying high into the air. The children are backgrounded by a red snow-covered house. The brightly coloured scene conveys fun, momentum, and the comfort of knowing that, cold as one gets during these outdoor games, the warmth of home is always nearby.
