Winter Town
School is out! The holidays are finally here! Delighted children turn
their attention to outdoor fun. Whirling, twirling, spinning under a
snowy sky: they sail across the ice alight with festive joy. These
moments with their friends make the treats to come seem even sweeter.
For most, it starts haltingly: a tumble, a bump, perhaps a few bruises.
Ankles wobbling, knees knocking, sometimes clinging to a chair or a
parent’s hand. But one day, balance and determination prevail. The chair
is set aside, the helping hands clapping instead as, head down, the
brave new skater glides along unaided.
Since ice skating was first introduced to North America in the
eighteenth century, learning to skate has been a coming-of-age ritual
for millions of Canadian children. Some go on to play professional
hockey, compete in figure skating events, or race on speed skating
tracks. Others simply enjoy the occasional game of pond hockey or a turn
around the local rink. Either way, it is in these earliest moments on
the ice, when children learn what it feels like to move faster than
their legs alone can carry them, that the magic of ice skating is
ignited.
Special Features:
- The border of the coin is decorated with painted green holly leaves and bright red berries.
- Crafted in 99.99% pure silver.

However, for items like this one where the products are brand new from the mint and are identical the photo posted in the listing is a STOCK photo meaning that the photos represent the item you will be getting. Normally there is almost no difference between the photo you see in the listing and the actual product you are sent. Certificate numbers (if shown in a photo) are an example of something that will not be the same in the item you receive.
