Canada 25 Dollars Silver Coin 2014 The Igloo
O Canada series
The first 1 oz. silver coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s O Canada series focusing on iconic Canadian images, this beautiful coin celebrates the unique igloo.
Designed by Canadian artist Yves Bérubé, this coin features an iconic Arctic structure: the igloo. The image presents an Inuit family perfecting the exterior of their home. The man stands on the right side of the image, cutting out a small square for light. This he may fill with a block of clear ice — an ice window. On the left side of the image, a woman carrying a baby in an amaut on her back carefully perfects the igloo’s exterior. A leashed and harnessed Husky sled dog stands before the dwelling’s circular entry tunnel, awaiting his call to duty.
The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
