2014 $25 O Canada - The Arctic Fox and the Northern Lights (No Tax)
The fifth and final 1 ounce pure silver coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting 2014 O Canada series focusing on iconic Canadian images celebrates the Northern Lights, a natural phenomenon as awe-inspiring as the Canadian wilderness itself.
The reverse design by Canadian artist Julius T. Csotonyi features an evocative image of an Arctic fox on its journey across the frozen tundra. As the fox leaps from the left side of the image toward a rocky, snow-dusted shore across a narrow expanse of water, the stunning Northern Lights burst forth in concentric circles across the sky behind it-as though the scene were set directly below the magnetic North Pole. While stylized icy mountains rise in the far distance behind and to the left of the fox, a vast iceberg just from the far right side of the image, providing beautiful balance to the scene. The Northern Lights, fox, and shoreline are reflected in the water, doubling the image's impact. Royal Canadian Mint engravers have used exceptional technique in engraving and finishing to convey the energy and power of the scene in pure silver.
