2018 - $25 - Pure Silver Ultra-High Relief Coin - Salmon Run

In the mighty rivers of British Columbia and Yukon, the salmon run is a spectacular natural occurrence and an awe-inspiring testament to one's ability to persevere against all odds. Swimming against the current and leaping over obstacles, the hard-fighting fish's odyssey from sea to spawning grounds draws many spectators along the way, including the bears and eagles that depend on salmon for their survival. Your pure silver coin is perfectly shaped for a magnificent panorama featuring two emblematic species, the grizzly bear and the sockeye salmon, with predator and prey pictured together in a beautiful river setting. Your rectangular coin is also the first to combine two technologies: blue enamel tints the water without obscuring the underwater view, while ultra high relief engraving heightens the hungry grizzly bear's imposing stature.
