Gifts of Diamonds

Product Overview

This 2013 $20 pure silver coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint has been one of the most sought-after of all coins issued in 2013, with the entire mintage selling out in just a few days. The coin combines beautiful art with a low mintage in pure silver to create an extremely popular collectible. The design features a striking autumn scene on a still Canadian lake. In the foreground, a red canoe sits on a shoreline of tall yellow grasses and white late-summer flowers, beside a golden-leaved aspen stand. The canoe floats on the shallows of a still lake, its bow drawing the eye towards the far (or opposite) shoreline. This distant shore is lined with impressionistic pops of bright red, green and yellow that are reflected in the lake below. On the horizon, indigo mountains rise toward a cloudy autumn sky. In the sky above the lake, an osprey spreads its wings in flight, a work of exceptional artistry and detail in and of itself. 

The coin is double-struck with the Royal Canadian Mint's highest quality proof finish. This coin sold out immediately when it was released, and currently sells in the secondary market substantially above the original issue price.
