This coin is a great gift and collectible that celebrates Canada’s natural wonders and our unique iconography. Order yours today!
Special features:
• This is the fifth coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s exciting O Canada ½ oz silver coin series.
• Your coin is engraved in exquisite detail to celebrate one of Canada’s most popular pastimes: cottaging in the summertime.
• Your coin is rendered in fine silver (99.99% pure).
Design:
Canadian artist Claudio D’Angelo’s design features a scene from the perspective of someone sitting in the bow of a canoe. A happy family—a man in a Muskoka chair on a dock, and four children playing in the cool lake waters—waves in greeting. Your coin also features an extremely detailed background of a balcony-fronted cabin, a smooth rocky outcropping of a wooded shoreline, a sailboat floating in the distance, and a sky filled with stylized sunbeams. Framing the entire image is a polished outer band engraved with the words “CANADA,” the date “2013,” the face value of “10 DOLLARS” and a small stylized Muskoka chair symbol.
Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a maroon clamshell case lined with flock and protected by customized full-colour beauty box.
An ideal coin for new fine silver collectors, or gift for people who enjoy all things Canadian!

Comments about 1/2 oz Fine Silver Coin - Canadian Summer Fun (2013):
I bought the first one for me - then knew right away my brother in law would it as a reminder of their cabin in Lake of the Woods. So put in another order for one for him. A good reminder of all our great times at LOW Ontario over the last 35 years.

Comments about 1/2 oz Fine Silver Coin - Canadian Summer Fun (2013):
My precious granddaughter celebrated her 10th birthday at a dear relative's cottage at the thousand islands. It was a huge success and everyone had a wonderful time and the little girls camped over night. They swam off the dock, kayaked, bbq'd, and there were Adirondack chairs on the dock. I bought this coin so she would always remember that perfect birthday and her friends and aunt whose cottage it was.

Comments about 1/2 oz Fine Silver Coin - Canadian Summer Fun (2013):
The plastic folder of this coin, and the coin, were completely upside down in the black folder when received. I am tired of receiving coins from the mint that are crooked or upside down in their clam shell case. This total disregard for this product really topped it off. When I pay money for a product I expect the manufacturer to show pride in production so I have pride in ownership. Canada Mint....if you pay so much attention to detail in the coin.....pay closer attention to my first impression of your product. This one was not good.
