Designed by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn, your coin presentsa contemporary reinterpretation of a classic winterscene. The view from above allows for a more playful perspective, as two Canadian youth make the most of a snow day by building a snowman. Geometric shapesand the deliberate choice of colours add elements of modern design; and yet, they evoke a strong sense of nostalgia—especially in the concentric circles that form four evergreen trees, whose swirled appearances are reminiscent of lollipops! Using cool-toned colours and engraving to convey bright light and shadows, this layered design radiates with a light-hearted spirit that is also reflected in the shadow engraved on the coin’s silver surface.

Comment

Is it snow day? Who says you have to stay indoors? When the snowflakes ease off and the wind dies down, Canadians of all ages can't help but marvel at the garden of frost that surrounds them. Wherever they look, they no longer recognize the landscape, transformed by a thick blanket of immaculate snow. The storm leaves behind not only a magnificent scene, but also one of the main ingredients of winter fun, with young and old alike thanking Mother Nature! Creative minds are over the moon as they gather, roll, stack and pack fresh snow to form the perfect snowman. All that's missing is a hat, a few buttons and a carrot nose, and he seems to come to life! It's a timeless and magical way to celebrate the joys of the Canadian cold season, and make the most of a bright winter's day.

Did you know?
People all over the world have long perpetuated this beloved winter tradition: making a snowman.
The raw material must have the ideal moisture content! Powdery snow is perfect for skiing, but doesn't clump very well; slush, on the other hand, is often too liquid to hold together.
One of Canada's largest snowmen stands year-round in Beardmore, Ontario. Although not actually made of snow, the smiling figure on the roadside is over ten metres tall!

Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case adorned with the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case is accompanied by a black protective box. Automatically translated

C’est jour de neige? Qui a dit qu’il fallait rester à l’intérieur? Quand les flocons tombent moins dru et que le vent faiblit, les Canadiens de tous âges ne peuvent s’empêcher de s’émerveiller devant le jardin de givre qui les entoure. Où que leur regard se pose, ils ne reconnaissent plus le paysage, transformé par un épais manteau de neige immaculée. La tempête laisse ainsi derrière elle une scène magnifique, mais aussi l’un des principaux ingrédients des plaisirs hivernaux; jeunes et moins jeunes remercient alors dame Nature! Les esprits créatifs sont aux anges quand ils ramassent, roulent, empilent et tassent la neige fraîche pour former le bonhomme de neige parfait. Ne manque plus qu’un chapeau, quelques boutons et un nez en carotte, et le voilà qui semble prendre vie! C’est une façon indémodable et magique de célébrer les joies de la saison froide canadienne et de profiter pleinement d’un jour d’hiver éclatant.

Le saviez-vous?
Depuis longtemps, les gens de partout dans le monde perpétuent cette tradition hivernale bien-aimée : faire un bonhomme de neige.
La matière première doit avoir la teneur idéale en humidité! La neige poudreuse est parfaite pour le ski, mais elle ne s’agglutine pas très bien; à l’opposé, la neige fondante est souvent trop liquide pour tenir en place.
L’un des plus grands bonshommes de « neige » du Canada se dresse toute l’année à Beardmore, en Ontario. S’il n’est pas réellement fait de neige, le personnage souriant, placé sur le bord de la route, mesure plus de dix mètres!

Emballage
La pièce est encapsulée et présentée dans un boîtier à double coque bordeaux orné du logo de la Monnaie royale canadienne. Le boîtier est assorti d’une boîte protectrice noire.
