Canada is home to one-fifth of the world's fresh water.

A father and son enjoy a tranquil moment on this colour-over-engraved reverse, where glow-in-the-dark elements recreate the effect of day transitioning to night. A spectacular send-off to a beautiful day in the great outdoors!

Design:
Designed by Joel Kimmel, your coin features a tranquil lake setting at dusk. In this quintessentially Canadian scene, a full colour application over engraved elements captures the rich, colourful light cast by a spectacular sunset. To the left, a father and son have donned their lifejackets for an evening paddle on the smooth waters. With paddles still dipped in the water, they pause to admire the sun setting over the tree-lined shore; their near-identical poses hint at the passing of knowledge from one generation to another, as though canoeing is a proud family tradition. The sunset is beautifully reflected in the water's surface; but when viewed in the dark, your coin's use of photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) technology continues the day's transition to night. The setting sun has become a dim light over a landscape increasingly filled with shadows. Its reflection on the water casts a soft glow on the canoe and the paddlers, and softly illuminates the green lily pads.

Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
