Icons of Canadian nature shine with the help of jade inserts and glow-in-the-dark technology

The Royal Canadian Mint has just released an extensive catalogue selection of new collector coins, available since May 5, 2015 and featuring themes covering many aspects of Canada’s identity, from history to pop culture, as well as our legendary natural bounty. The Mint’s second-ever coin to incorporate a jade insert celebrates a polar bear carved of the semi-precious stone, which crowns artist Cindy-Deborah Sorley-Keichinger’s design of a new $20 fine silver coin. An impressive two-ounce fine silver coin featuring the art of Ervin Molnar displays the serene image of a lakeside camp site at night, showcasing a pair of fireflies, a campfire, and a full moon glowing through the intricate application of glow-in-the-dark technology.

Other newly launched products include:

  • $20 and $50 fine silver coins both commemorating the 100th Anniversary of “In Flanders Fields“, designed by Laurie McGaw ($10) and Tony Bianco ($50);
