Canada is home to some of the most beautiful natural wonders in the world. Your 2 oz. pure silver coin commemorates one of these wonders: Moraine Lake, in Banff National Park, Alberta. Located in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, the glacially fed lake is known for its brilliant blue-green shade produced by light refraction on tiny particles of rock suspended in the water. Well-known Canadian photographer Peter McKinnon has beautifully captured the stunning natural wonder.
