Fine Silver Coin - Ice Fishing Father - Mintage: 6500 (2013)

Distance and proportion melt away on the great expanse of Arctic ice—and the Inuit fisherman would disappear into the landscape if it were not for the brownish-grey earth tones of his animal hide parka. Even then, it would take a trained eye to spot the dot of contrast against the frigid white that defines the Arctic for most of the year.

Special features
  •  Your coin is the 2nd in a series featuring contemporary aboriginal art incorporated in a colorful design using oxidised niobium to diffract light and cause brilliant colours naturally.

Design
The coin’s reverse design is by Inuit artist Ulaayu Pilurtuut. Pilurtuut’s design shows a joyous fisherman celebrating his latest catch. In the background stands the fisherman’s protective igloo. Rendered in a contemporary Inuit style, it captures the lighthearted spirit and humour commonly associated with this ancient culture.
