Canada 10 Dollars Silver Coloured Coin 2016 Winter Fun
Speeding down a snowy slope on a toboggan is a must-do during the long Canadian winter. It transforms the endless cold into a season of fun: a heartwarming time spent with family and friends, and the sharing of simple pleasures that create wonderful memories everyone will cherish for years to come. Make the moment last forever with this playful fine silver coin—beautifully enhanced with selective colour!
Obverse: Susanna Blunt’s design of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Reverse: Designed by Canadian artist Maurade Baynton, your coin captures the warmth and joy of family members enjoying an activity together in a winter scene. Freshly-fallen snow has created the perfect powdery tobogganing conditions on this hill, where families, friends and pets are taking the opportunity to enjoy time spent together. In the foreground, selective colour naturally draws the eye to a family of four dressed in their warmest snow gear, which adds bright colour to a carefully engraved landscape that would otherwise be dominated by wintry hues of whites and grey. With a scarf draped over his mouth and chin to protect against the cold wind, the youngest child sits at the front of the wooden toboggan; behind him, his rosy-cheeked sister lets out a gleeful shout as they slowly gather momentum. Mother and father sit at the rear where they excitedly look ahead with broad smiles, knowing the thrill that's to come. Even the family's pet terrier is in on the fun! In the background, others enjoy the same activity; all remain undaunted by the cold, for they know that any cold hands and cheeks will be warmed later by burning hearth-fires and hot cocoa.
