Royal Canadian Mint - The
Royal Canadian Mint has just released an extensive selection of new collector coins, available since May 5, 2015 and featuring themes covering many aspects of Canada's identity, from history to pop culture, as well as our legendary nature. The Mint's second-ever coin to incorporate a jade insert celebrates a polar bear carved of the semi-precious stone, which crowns artist Cindy-Deborah Sorley-Keichinger's design of a new $20 fine silver coin. An impressive two-ounce fine silver coin featuring the art of Ervin Molnar displays the serene image of a lakeside camp site at night, showcasing a pair of fireflies, a campfire, and a full moon glowing through the intricate application of glow-in-the-dark technology.
