2015 Canadian 5-Cent Legacy of the Canadian Nickel: The Centennial 5-Cent Coin - 1 oz Fine Silver & Gold-plated Coin
In 1967, Canada celebrated a key milestone in this young nation's history: the 100th anniversary of Confederation. To commemorate Canada's centennial, the Royal Canadian Mint unveiled new designs for every denomination of circulation coins. From the one-cent to the silver dollar, each featured a reverse image designed by artist Alex Colville–including the hopping rabbit that adorned the centennial five-cent coin, as recreated with this beautifully detailed coin.
Colville's choice of an animal theme was symbolic; each creature was selected to express the values and virtues that best represented the Canada he knew.
"The rabbit is common, much loved by children, perhaps because of its vulnerability. It survives by alertness and speed, and is symbolically connected to the ideas of fertility, new life and promise–it is a future, or united, animal." – Alex Colville
A thoughtful gift for art appreciators and admirers of the highly acclaimed Canadian artist, Alex Colville! Order today!
