2007 Canadian $250 Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games: Early Canada Silver Kilo Coin-no outside box

2007 Canadian $250 Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games: Early Canada Silver Kilo Coin

Canada's diverse and abundant wildlife play the central role in the coin's design: a grizzly bear with a salmon in its mouth to represent the west coast, a plains bison for the prairies, a moose and a beaver for the central and eastern regions and a wolf and caribou for the north. 

The First Peoples are represented in this design, both as individuals and through their distinctive building forms which were influenced by the geography, climate and the available building materials: the totem pole is found on the left side of the coin and represents the West Coast, the tipi is placed centrally in the design to represent the prairies, the wigwam is placed to the right side of the coin to represent Eastern Canada, and the inukshuk of the North is placed near the top of the design. 

This coin design also displays Canada's rugged geography. The left side of the coin represents the West Coast with both ocean and mountains, while centrally the design conveys both Prairies and inland waters. To the right side of the coin is the rugged East Coast Ocean which then transforms into the barren lands of the North.
