Design:

Designed by Canadian artist Yves Bérubé, this coin features an iconic Arctic structure: the igloo.  The image presents an Inuit family perfecting the exterior of their home. The man stands on the right side of the image, cutting out a small square for light.  This he may fill with a block of clear ice - an ice window.  On the left side of the image, a woman carrying a baby in an amaut on her back carefully perfects the igloo’s exterior.  A leashed and harnessed Husky sled dog stands before the dwelling’s circular entry tunnel, awaiting his call to duty.

Packaging:

Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a custom beauty box.

“Unsearched” — All of the coins offered in this listing are “unsearched”.  Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint.  They "cherry-pick" the best coins.  Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc.  These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices.  When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins. 

Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed.  Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered.
