2014 Canada $20 The Great Lakes - Lake Erie (#3) Silver (No Tax)

The fourth largest of the Great Lakes in terms of surface area, Lake Erie is the smallest in volume. It is hydrologically supplied by the three upper Great Lakes-Superior, Michigan, and Huron-as well as Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair River and drains into the Niagara River and the Welland Canal. The Point Pelee peninsula on Erie's northern shore is the most southerly mainland point in Canada.

The reverse image features an interpretation of a bathymetry map of Lake Erie replicated by Royal Canadian Mint engravers and highlighted with coloured enamel. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
