Second issue in the Royal Canadian Mint's new four-coin series featuring popular sportfish in their natural habitat. Future releases will feature other popular species including the Rainbow Trout and Walleye.
This beautifully detailed fine silver coin is struck with an arresting image of one of North America's most sought-after sportfish: the Northern Pike. The detailed pattern on the fish has been accented with the use of various polishes to bring this stealthy predator to life.
