2017 - $10 - 1/2 oz. Pure Silver Coloured Coin - Iconic Canada: Spring Sightings

Once winter eases its hold, there's a sense of renewed activity across the landscape as the warming air seems to draw one and all out of our winter cover. This is a season of new beginnings for much of our flora and fauna. In the forests, where tall trees filter the sun's warming rays, the wet snow slowly retreats to reveal grasses, sedges and winter cereals—they are the first green growth of early spring, which bring a welcome splash of colour to our surroundings and relief to hungry grazing species such as the deer.
