Fine Silver Coin - Ice Fishing Father - Mintage: 6500 (2013)
* Please call store to confirm product stock.
closeFeatures a beautifully coloured niobium insert! 2nd in the series!
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.
• Your coin features an innovative minting process that incorporates a niobium insert struck into the coin’s silver core. The niobium is selectively coloured using a unique oxidization process produced naturally by niobium’s distinct properties.
• Limited mintage of 6,500.
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.
Packaging
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded black clamshell case lined with a black flock and protected by a black sleeve.
A thoughtful gift and beautiful addition to any collection featuring Aboriginal art and culture.

Beautiful

I was given three originals from the artist and was thrilled to hear her art was turned into coins. I display the coins with her artwork and I cannot be happier with the combination of the coins and art work together. I will be buying them all as they are released.

Amazing Colour

I am a collector of mint products and this one is outstanding. The image does not do justice to the colour of this coin, the green is unique and brilliant.

I would have preferred a larger coin to show more details in the coloured portion. Coloured centre is a great concept

Incredible Green!

The green of the insert is very pleasing to the eye! It's been a favorite to display and draws eyes away from much more expensive coins.

Interesting Series But Needs Impovement

I was excited to see another Niobium Series becasue I missed the last one. The basil green color on this coin is duller then I expected, as was the first purple coin. It would be nice to have had a set case available for display. The price is very high for a 8.5 gram silver coin w/Niobium (which is not really a precious metal). A larger format with deeper intensity color would be ideal for this set, but at the same price.

I'm attracted to bi-metallic coins and this one does not dissapoint! Looking forward to the entire series.

The coin is small for the price and the design is not that attractive. The Mint needs to develop and introduce themes other than Native and historical which have been beaten to death and don't resonate as much with the younger generation (see the success of Superman coins).

Confused by Colour

I am not sure if anyone else had this, but the bright lime green colour depicted in the photo is not what my coin looks like in real life. It is more of a teal. I love the product but was really disappointed at the colour because it does not look as brilliant as the photo.
