O Canada Series
The ninth coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s exciting new O Canada series focusing on iconic Canadian images, this beautiful coin celebrates a great Canadian sport, hockey. The reverse design by Canadian artist Tony Bianco presents a small group of individuals enjoying a pick-up game on a small local rink. In the foreground, we see the backs of a father and child, sticks over their shoulders and skates hanging from the sticks by their laces in a typical Canadian fashion. Bundled in warm coats, snowpants, and toques, they walk through the snow to a small outdoor community hockey rink. In the background, other players lean against the outside of the boards, sticks held high, waiting for their turn to join the game. On the rinks itself, an adult and several children are engaged in a game. The adult and one of the children wave their hands and sticks high in the air, signalling perhaps that someone has scored a goal. In the distant background, stark leafless trees rise against the wintry horizon.
