The Canoe
A shiny silver 20 dollars showing the iconic image. The figure in the Canoe is a young boy, the reflection a voyageur. “The boy breaks from paddling to dip his hand in the water… and touches the past – the reflection reveals an early native paddler (or voyageur) in a traditional birch-bark canoe as it also appears on the early silver dollar of 1935.” Specifications MintageLimited to 250000 coins worldwide Composition99.99% pure silver Finishspecimen Weight (g)7.96 Diameter (mm)27 Edgeserrated Certificatenot serialized Face value20 dollars ArtistJason Bouwman (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse) Thank you Royal Canadian Mint for quoted text, specification and image: http://www.mint.ca/store/product/product_exchange2011.jsp?itemId=prod1150003
