2006 Canada $30 Dog Sled Team Sterling Silver Coin.

2006 Canada $30 Dog Sled Team Sterling Silver Coin.

As is typical of coins from this year, the outer cardboard sleeve might have some light wear, and coin might have some light toning.

Before cars and snowmobiles, dog sledding was one of the primary methods of transportation around Canada during the winter months. Even still today some northern communities continue to use dog sleds that are commonly pulled by two dog breeds, the Canadian Eskimo Dog and the Siberian Husky.

This sterling silver coin features the beauty and powers of these animals with vibrant colours and an image that depicts sled dogs in motion. Honour this unique method of transportation with this 2006 Canadian $30 Dog Sled Team Proof Sterling Silver Coloured Coin.
