Comment

These incomparable pieces caused a sensation when they were first issued two years ago. This year's design, by the artists of the Vancouver Organizing Committee, pays homage to the modern country hosting the Winter Olympics.

Transformation and fusion are at the heart of Vancouver, a place where nature and culture are constantly evolving and growing. Water is omnipresent, nourishing, purifying and beautifying this region of diverse topography, aptly named "Sea to Sky". Across Canada, towns and villages are as energetic as the nature that shelters them, while cultures from all over the world converge here in a communion of fresh ideas and hope.

Special features: The coin stands out from its predecessors thanks to the highly accentuated relief of its motif, as normally seen on medals. It has an unprecedented diameter of 101.6 mm (4 in.) and contains exactly one kilogram of fine gold or silver. Automatically translated

Ces pièces incomparables ont fait sensation dès la première émission il y a deux ans. Le motif de cette année, qu’on doit aux artistes du Comité d'organisation des Jeux de Vancouver, rend un hommage au pays moderne qui accueille les Jeux olympiques d’hiver.

Transformation et fusion sont au coeur de Vancouver, un endroit où nature et culture ne cessent d'évoluer et de croître. L’eau, omniprésente, nourrit, purifie et embellit cette région à la topographie si diverse, qu’on appelle à juste titre « Sea to Sky » en anglais. Partout au Canada, villes et villages déploient la même énergie que la nature qui les abrite, tandis que des cultures du monde entier convergent chez nous dans une communion d’idées neuves, porteuses de tous les espoirs.

Particularités : La pièce se démarque de ses prédécesseurs par le relief très accentué de son motif, comme on le voit normalement sur les médailles. Elle fait un diamètre inouï de 101,6 mm (4 po) et contient exactement un kilogramme d’or ou d’argent fin.
