2017 - $20 - 1 oz. Pure Silver Gold-Plated Coin - From Sea To Sea To Sea: Atlantic Starfish

The sandy beaches, rocky shorelines and tide pools of Atlantic Canada provide a habitat for some of the most intriguing ocean-dwellers—including the starfish, or sea star (Asterias rubens). This aptly named creature has five arms reaching out from its centre; small white spines line the top of each arm to provide it with a measure of protective armour, while tiny tubular feet allow it to feed and move along the gravelly ocean floor. Feeding on invertebrates, the starfish blends in with its surroundings thanks to its unique colouring, which only adds to the surreal beauty of this incredible creature.
