2015 $10 Canoe Across Canada - Wondrous West fine silver coin

Paddling a canoe along a tree-lined shore in the heart of the wilderness: it's an iconic Canadian moment that captures Canada's unique history and Canadians' connection to their vast land. The Royal Canadian Mint proudly celebrates the Canadian experience with its exciting new "Canoe Across Canada" series.

The reverse image by Canadian artist Greg Banning features an outdoorsman and his husky portaging along the Yukon River. On the left side of the image, the smiling man carries a canoe on his shoulders, facing the viewer. Standing just in front of him is his dog, whose back is turned to the viewer. The dog gazes across the river toward the right side of the image where, on the opposite bank, a large elk stands on a towering outcrop of rocks. Behind the elk, a coniferous forest rises toward distant mountains.
