1945V Valued Member Canada 386 Posts	Posted 12/18/2012 5:35 pm My avatar is my most inspiring coin. It is full of symbolism. The message on the rim is Morse code for "We win when we work willingly" The V (said to have been borrowed from American pre-1913 liberty heads) has a double meaning: V Latin for 5 cents and V to depict Winston Churchill's famous two finger salute for victory. http://lenpenzo.com/blog/id10152-a-...gesture.html Edited by 1945V 12/18/2012 5:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Windchild Pillar of the Community Canada 1411 Posts	Posted 12/18/2012 5:55 pm I agree with 1945V! The Canadian V nickel is the most inspiring Canadian Coin :D Report this Post to the Staff
RogerD Valued Member Canada 491 Posts	Posted 12/19/2012 05:30 am Krause Publications has just announced the ten category winners for the 2013 Coin of the Year Awards. Best Silver Coin Royal Canadian Mint â€" 2011 Canoe $20 for $20 Silver Coin The reverse design depicts a young person rowing a canoe. The reflection in the water reveals an early native paddler in a traditional birch bark canoe. That's what I like, sure its NCLT but its a good marriage of old and new. Report this Post to the Staff

Marc D Valued Member 92 Posts	Posted 12/19/2012 6:59 pm I think the Voyageur Dollar represents "my" Canada. From Chilhood until now, some 53 years, there has always been a canoe hung up somewhere. Additionally, Canadian History/geography have always been a passion of mine. So I find the Famous Canadian Silver Dollar most inspiring. Now, and I could go on for pages and pages...The one coin(s) I love to look at with my magnifying glass...are the 1937-1958 50 Cents coins with the very nice Coat of Arms. Their "depth" and detail allows for very neat photos. Edited by Marc D 12/19/2012 7:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
aardspeed Pillar of the Community 921 Posts	Posted 12/19/2012 8:45 pm Honestly, the Canadian coins out recently with coloring on them are all amazing, but I still have to think of the "1937-1952 version of the .50 cent piece" is tops, The 1973 MOUNTIE quarter, And most of the commemerative silver dollars...

CanadianCollector Valued Member Canada 306 Posts	Posted 12/20/2012 10:19 am My personal favourite is also the victory nickels, especially uncirculated tombac ones. The colour on them is spectacular in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
