Here's my second favorite Canada Nclt tender coin. When I find my Absolute favorite I will post it. I'm bored and I'd like to see other collectors favorite Nclt Canada coins? So please post photos!   I took photos prior to shipping to the mint last week. I'm going to wait and find better pricing. I know the set will drop. Maybe I'll get some cash and be able to get the 2014&2015 sets for $388 from CA. Oops forgot to say what the coin is: 2015 enamel 1 Oz silver coin from 2015 frational set. Edited by pocket change 50

That is easy. The silver proof version of the 1992 Yukon 25-cent coin. This is the Kaskawulsh Glacier, a site I have personally been to as well, almost to the same perspective as the coin...

@ SPP great post, this is my favorite quarter in the 1992, followed by Alberta / Sask/ Manitoba silver quarters. Interesting thing, I've only ever come across the Alberta & sask quarters twice. I've never seen any of the other quarters. I wonder where they're all hiding?
I actually took time and did some reading on the glacier; there's some awesome photos posted of the region. A couple of those photos are spot on for the coin. It looks like an interesting and beautiful place to visit. I didn't know it was a national park or covered such a large area!!

The $10 selectively gold-plated "Celebrating Canada" coin shown above by SilverDon is my favorite among the RCM's most recent issues. My long-time favorite, however, is the 1989 silver dollar that commemorates the 200th anniversary of Alexander Mackenzie's expedition up the river that now bears his name. He followed the river from Lake Athabasca (split between Saskatchewan and Alberta) all the way to the Arctic Ocean. In doing so, he opened up a large area of the Canadian west to settlement. (Of course, he was hoping to find the Northwest Passage to the Pacific Ocean, but sometimes you don't get everything you hope for!) I've always found the perspective and sense of motion depicted on the coin to be outstanding!  Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Amazing coins, Thecurse
Due to purchasing them, I started to collect their series.
The Dragon was the reason for the Lotus series, and the 2009 with 2012 pushed me to collect all Crystal Maple Rain Drop coins(after I decided to have only 2001-2007 Coloured series).
