Comments

Canadian history and culture collection
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
