Who says you have to spend a snow day inside! Once 

precipitation slows and the winds die down, 

Canadians of all ages can’t help but marvel at the frozen 

wonderland around them. Everywhere you look, the 

once-familiar landscape seems completely altered by a thick 

blanket of freshly fallen snow. 

It’s a breathtaking sight; it’s also a key ingredient for some 

winter fun for all ages, courtesy of Mother Nature! Creative 

spirits soar as the pristine snow is gathered, rolled, stacked 

and packed on to build the perfect snowman. 

Add on a hat, some buttons and a carrot nose, and your 

winter character practically comes to life! It’s a timeless and 

whimsical way to celebrate the joys of Canada’s coldest 

season while making the most of a bright winter day.

A fun Christmas present your loved one will enjoy all year!

Designed by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn, the coin 

presents a contemporary reinterpretation of a classic winter 

scene. 

The view from above allows for a more playful perspective, 

as two Canadian youth make the most of a snow day by 

building a snowman. Geometric shapes and the deliberate 

choice of colors add elements of modern design; and yet, 

they evoke a strong sense of nostalgia—especially in the 

concentric circles that form four evergreen trees, whose 

swirled appearances are reminiscent of lollipops! 

Using cool-toned colors and engraving to convey bright 

light and shadows, this layered design radiates with a 

light-hearted spirit that is also reflected in the shadow 

engraved on the coin’s silver surface.
