Product Overview
This exciting new coin series by the Royal Canadian Mint pairs some of Canada's most stunning World Heritage properties with other properties around the world to illustrate how two sites of global importance share similarities while being so different.
This coin features mirror-image landscapes of the Rocky Mountains and Mount Fuji. The one half of the design presents a well-known scene of Jasper National Park's Spirit Island, located on stunning Maligne Lake. The jagged, unmistakable peaks of the Rockies rise into the distant background, following the lake's rocky, spruce-lined water line. Opposite this image and mirroring its composition on the other half of the reverse is a landscape portrait of snow-capped Mount Fuji, as it is often depicted in art and photography. In the foreground, graphically reflecting an island of spruce in the Rocky Mountain scene, a Japanese black pine rises skyward. The two scenes are bisected by a horizontal band bearing the mirrored bilingual phrases "Rocky Mountains - Montagnes Rocheuses" and "Mount Fuji - Mont Fuji." The design also incorporates the Japanese text for "Rocky Mountains" and "Mount Fuji."
