2018 - $3 - Pure Silver Gold-Plated Coin - Canadian Coasts: True North

History and culture run deep in Northern Canada, where the ice-carved landscape is beautiful, fearsome and endlessly fascinating! The square-shaped reverse brings together a mix of finely engraved and selectively gold-plated emblems that embody the spirit of the Canadian Arctic—from the iconic caribou to the compass rose that symbolizes a history of exploration, and the inunnguaq, a form of inukshuk, that has traditionally guided the way.
