2015 $10 Canoe Across Canada - Serene Scene Fine Silver (No Tax)

2015 $10 Serene Scene Canoe Across Canada Fine Silver Coin (TAX Exempt) 144504

Paddling a canoe along a tree-lined shore in the heart of the wilderness: it's an iconic Canadian moment that captures Canada's unique history and Canadians' connection to their vast land. The Royal Canadian Mint proudly celebrates the Canadian experience with its exciting new "Canoe Across Canada" series.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Greg Banning features an outdoorsman and his dog camping on a rocky island in Ontario's Georgian Bay Islands National Park. The image centers around the camper and his simple campfire, dome tent, and canoe. As the smoke rises from the fire toward the left side of the image, the eye is drawn toward the unique landscape of this beautiful region of Ontario. The rocky, glacier-smoothed islands are dotted with grasses, lichens, mosses and the occasional wind-swept white pine tree. Each small island is reflected in the waters of the Georgian Bay which opens onto Lake Huron. The image is framed by an outer band engraved with maple leaves.
