Comment
Features a beautifully coloured niobium insert. 2nd in the series.Rendered in a contemporary Inuit style, it captures the lighthearted spirit and humour commonly associated with this ancient culture.
Distance and proportion melt away on the great expanse of Arctic ice—and the Inuit fisherman would disappear into the landscape if it were not for the brownish-grey earth tones of his animal hide parka. Eventhen, it would take a trained eye to spot the dot of contrast against the frigid white that defines the Arctic for most of the year.
Packaging
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded black clamshell case lined with a black flock and protected by a black sleeve.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that the niobium centre in the silver ring is 1.4 grams, which is a unique feature for a coin of its kind.
