2014 - $30 - 2 oz. Fine Silver Coin - Canada Through the Eyes of Tim Barnard

Explore Canada as you've never seen it before with this captivating coin that draws you in to discover more than 50 images that are Canadian icons in their own right, or reflective of the artist's personal Canadian experiences—like time spent under the Yukon's midnight sun, as shown within the centre of this coin.

These images are reminiscent of comic book illustrations, but that's where their similarity to comic books ends. Instead of being linear they spiral out from the centre, inviting you to create your own adventure as you search for the initials of the province or territory you call home.

What else will you find? Canadian fauna and flora; First Nations culture and art; historic portraits and images; and various logos. Every time you explore this coin, you will see something new.
