2015 - $20 - 1 oz. Fine Silver Coin - Ice Dancer

From our first glide across the ice, we're hooked. Faster than our feet alone can carry us, we chase, explore, and spend laughing moments with our friends and family. There will be bumps, bruises, and wobbly knees, but before we know it, the hands once occupied in helping us up off the ice will clap as we glide along unaided. Inspired by his own daughter's experience, these were the moments Douglas R. Laird had in mind when he painted the delightful scene captured on this coin; enjoying fond family memories and encouraging young dreamers to follow their passion.

While ice skating has been a favourite winter pastime in Canada for hundreds of years, figure skating has grown as a Canadian passion over the last century. The power, grace, and beauty of ice dancers, pairs, and solo skaters ignite the imagination and inspire thousands of children each year to participate in one of the country's many world-class skating programs.
