The summer cottage retreat is as much a part of Canadian life as maple syrup and Mounties! This beautiful coin celebrates the great tradition of getting away from city life to enjoy Canada’s beautiful woodlands and fresh water.
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!

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.

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.

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.

Could be an annual series. Would prefer a simpler design of one aspect or another of the family cottage life.
