Product Overview
Mention the word salmon and images of powerful, unstoppable fish swimming upstream immediately come to mind. This three-coin set promises to capture fishers hook, line and sinker as it celebrates Canada's indigenous salmonid species. A Len Thompson fishing lure is also included.
Atlantic Salmon
This coin features the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during its upstream journey to spawning grounds in one of the many rivers flowing through the boreal forests of Eastern Canada. In the skilfully engraved background, several migrating salmon can be seen leaping out of the fast-moving waters to ascend the rocky waterfall. Selective colour superbly highlights the salmon in the foreground, whose tail is curled up as it angles forward with great energy. Re-adapting to freshwater conditions, the mature salmon's glistening appearance has altered from the silver of its saltwater existence to a bronze-green hue with black and reddish spots.
Arctic Char
This coin features the Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) towards the end of its migratory journey, from the saline waters along the Arctic coastline to the freshwater rivers and lakes of Northern Canada. The engraved background offers an underwater view of this distinctive species as two Arctic char hover just beneath the water's surface, while a third in the foreground remains close to the pebble-and-gravel-lined riverbed. Selective colour brings to life the spotted, bright orange tint of this spawning adult, while intricate engraving offers a detailed view of its fins and upwardly protruding lower jaw.
Sockeye Salmon
This coin features an engraved depiction of a sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) during its journey upstream to spawning grounds. The detailed background offers a glimpse of the unspoiled beauty of Canada's Pacific Coast region, where trees line a lakeshore. Dorsal fins appear on the water's surface, as does the humped back of the male sockeye in the foreground. Selective colour recreates the scarlet and green colouring it is known for, while the underwater view allows for a glimpse at its unique profile with hooked jaw as it swims just above the gravel that lines this shallow area.
