The Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) has released a new Silver Proof coin that focuses on the staggering natural beauty that defines Canada on a global scale.
Canada is a country with immense natural beauty. Canada is a country like no other, and nature matters to Canadians. This coin celebrates the popular vision of Canada as a country defined by diversity, its natural beauty and vast wilderness.
Mountains, prairies, forests and more—so many different landscapes are synonymous with Canada, and natural diversity is one of the nation's great strengths.
The staggering beauty that defines the nation on a global scale, a beauty that is represented on this coin’s reverse, where some of this country’s most impressive scenes are combined to form a single vision of “home” that will speak to everyone.
These elements are meticulously captured on a new silver Proof coin which highlights the many facets of the diverse landscapes found in the northernmost country of the Americas
Canada is the third-most forested country in the world, with 347 million hectares of forest covering 38% of the country’s total land area.
Canada has more lake area than any other country in the world! The five Great Lakes that straddle the Canada-United States border are some of the largest lakes in the world.
But many of the largest bodies of water (rivers and lakes) are located in Northern Canada—that’s where you’ll find our longest river, the Mackenzie River (4,241 km long), and the largest lake wholly within Canada, Great Bear Lake.
As the second-largest country in the world, almost 20 percent of the country is made up of prairies, large open areas of flat grassland with temperate climate, and moderate rainfall.
In contrast, the Canadian Rockies mountain range spans the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, which includes the towering Mount Robson.
With coasts on both the Atlantic and Pacific, the Maritime Provinces in the east, and Vancouver Island on the west coast have very different natural landmarks that also support a very distinctive way of life and ecosystem.
From towering peaks to mighty rivers, and the dancing lights of the aurora borealis, Canada is truly a land of wonder and sheer beauty.
