2015 Canada $125 Canadian Horse Fine Silver Half-Kilo Coin (No Tax)
Please note that this item has a heavy shipping charge of $3.00
The year 2015 marks the 350th anniversary of the introduction of the Canadian Horse. Robust, resilient, and good natured, the petit cheval de fer-the "little iron horse," as it became known in its native Quebec-has survived near extinction to emerge as one of Canada's official national symbols. The Royal Canadian Mint proudly celebrates the anniversary of its introduction with a unique half-kilogram coin of 99.99% pure silver.
The reverse design by Canadian artist Michelle Grant features a portrait of three Canadian Horses bounding through a cascade of maple leaves. In the centre of the image, a stallion leaps toward the viewer across a grassy field. A cascade of maple leaves spin clockwise, like the hands of time, around him. Two other Canadian Horses race toward him in the left background. The leaves are engraved in multiple textures to underscore the diverse history of the Little Iron Horse that is so intertwined with the development of Canada.
