The Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve (MANPR) is located on Nitassinan, traditional lands of the Innu people inhabited by the Ekuanitshit and Nutashkuan First Nations for thousands of years. The archipelago is best known as the home of Canada’s largest concentration of erosion monoliths—rock pillars that continue to be shaped by water, wind and time. Its islands are accessible by boat; once ashore, visitors are invited to let the ocean set the rhythm as they take in the scenery and discover the rich biodiversity of this coastal chain preserved since 1984, part of a vast network of spaces protected for present and future generations of Canadians.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Gulf of St. Lawrence is the final stop.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStretching along the coast of the Gulf of the St. Lawrence between the villages of Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan and Aguanish, Que., the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve was created in 1984 with the aim of protecting a natural area that is representative of the Eastern St. Lawrence Lowlands. The park reserve is famous for its seabird population: an estimated 200 bird species congregate here, and more than 80,000 seabirds feed and nest in colonies on the islands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the park reserve’s limestone bedrock is over 450 million years old, its famous monoliths were shaped by variations in the sea level associated with glacial retreat 10,000 years ago, and continuously carved by the eroding forces of wind and waves, freezing and thawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned by Innu artist Jean-Luc Hervieux, your coin’s reverse invites you to take a seat and enjoy the view from Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve, located in the province of Quebec and just off the northern coast of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The design highlights the park’s vast collection of monoliths by presenting a view of the famous Bonne Femme formation (centre) on Île Niapiskau, one of the park’s many islands and islets. Selective colour highlights the surrounding landscape and, in the foreground, two red Adirondack chairs—a familiar sight in Canada’s national parks. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRCM Number: 253805\u003cbr\u003eMintage: 7,000 \u003cbr\u003eComposition: 99.99% pure silver with selective colour\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 31.39 g \u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 38 mm \u003cbr\u003eFace Value: $20\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Proof \u003cbr\u003eEdge: Serrated \u003cbr\u003eArtist: Jean-Luc Hervieux (reverse), Steven Rosati (obverse) \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSee Canada in all its beauty and splendour.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eCanada’s National Parks\u003c\/em\u003e invites you to (re)discover the sights, species and stories that make each region of Canada so unique. \u003cem\u003eCanada’s National Parks\u003c\/em\u003e—in the hearts and minds of Canadians, and in the eyes of the world!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifferent theme for 2026. \u003c\/strong\u003eMoving on from 2024’s \u003cem\u003eWondrous Waters\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCanada’s National Parks\u003c\/em\u003e is another fun cross-country journey, as each of the four coins presents a view from one of Canada’s many national parks and park reserves, our most treasured wild spaces.\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoin 1: Torngat Mountains National Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoin 2: Kluane National Park and Reserve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoin 3: Grasslands National Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoin 4: Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollect all four coins for a complete set!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTake a seat, take in the view. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe two red chairs on your coin’s reverse, and on all \u003cem\u003eCanada’s National Parks \u003c\/em\u003ecoins, invite you to sit back, connect with nature and enjoy the view!
