2015 $20 Fine 1oz Pure 99.99% Silver Coin: Weather Phenomenon: 'WINTER FREEZE'
2015 $20 Fine 99.99% Silver Coin: Weather Phenomenon WINTER FREEZE. Comes encapsulated in plastic case, in a maroon clamshell, w/COA, and original protective outer black-beauty box. Coin and Case are in Brand New Condition from the Royal Canadian Mint.
A MINT FIRST! This coin is the first-time application of an enhanced finish that recreates the look and feel of ice for a realistic viewing experience of a winter freeze's impact on the Canadian landscape! And only 8,000 were made, so highly collectible!
Freezing rain and ice might bring the world to a halt, yet despite the precarious conditions, nature carries on. The weather barely clears and the birds are out, just like the evening grosbeaks on this coin. The reverse image by Canadian artists Tony Bianco and Arnold Nogy features three evening grosbeaks (Coccothraustes vespertinus) as they move along ice-covered branches. Selective colour allows for the birds, and berries in the foreground to stand out from the engraved countryside in the background, while the addition of high gloss overlay recreated the glistening ice veneer of a winter freeze.
