Fine Silver Coin - Boreal Forest (2011)
Only available until October 31. Stunning coin in 99.99% pure silver.
Guardian of nature's delicate balance.
The Boreal Forest is a vast woodland that
circumvents the globe across the Northern
Hemisphere. It’s home to thousands of species
of flora and fauna—a critical source of life-giving
oxygen and a major filter for absorbing carbon
dioxide. In fact, Canada's boreal forest stores
more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem
on earth.
Express your passion for the Canadian wilderness—treasures to cherish and preserve.
Celebrated First Nation’s artist Corrine Hunt has brought her distinctive vision of traditional Kwakwaka’wakw and Tlingit forms to create these special-edition collectibles. Every design is visual poetry that gives the time-honoured traditions of conservation and respect a contemporary voice with powerful lines and well-honed economy in composition.
2011 is the International Year of Forests—a time to reflect on the significant role the wilderness plays in reducing global warming and preserving the earth’s environmental balance.

A really beautiful coin/artwork. It's not photogenic- meaning it's more exquisite true to life. I thought it would be nice, but it really made my day when I opened the package. Thank you

Stunning surface texture effect

Stunning micro-grain surface textures on a silver coin. We have gotten used to seeing 2 surfaces finishes (mirror and frosted) on silver coins in recent years, but I can not remember seeing several different micro-grain surface textures as used together in the the native images on these coins. It gives the native images an appearance of multiple shading which usually does not appear on most coins that are not colored. It makes the native art work appear stunning and really pop out! When I first looked at the web image of this coin I thought it would be better in color, but after getting and seeing the actual coin, I really like it as the mint produced it. The web images don't reflect how stunning the surface textures make the artwork appear. I usually don't write reviews, but I am so impressed that I felt the desire to comment. Yes, it is pricy for a non-colorized, 1/2 ounce coin, and I was not sure about purchasing it at that price, but I am very glad that I did.

I've been buying pure silver and gold coins from the Canadian Mint for about 6 months now. I have been very pleased with all my purchases. This particular coin set is very nice, I am planning to buy all 4 in silver and gold.
