2018 Canadian $30 Great White Shark with Blue Rhodium Plating 2 oz Fine Silver Coin
For years, the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) has been cast and portrayed as an object of fear—the classic “predator from beneath” that wreaks terror in countless movies. But look past its fearsome jaw and reputation, and you’ll find a fascinating ancient species that is among the oldest life forms on Earth! Famously associated with southerly coastlines, the great white enjoys a far wider range that also stretches north into the waters off Canada’s Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Infrequent captures and occasional sightings have earned it the distinction of being the second-largest fish found in Canadian waters; but its behaviour is not always well understood, and its highly mobile ways only add to its elusiveness. Myths and misconceptions surround this solitary predator, whose aggressiveness and size tend to overshadow its role in maintaining a balance within the marine environment.
Add this breathtaking 2 oz. pure silver great white shark coin to your collection!
Features
A FIRST! While we have used rhodium before on our coins (most notably, the gorgeous Nocturnal by Nature series), this is the first coin to feature blue rhodium!
A LEGENDARY SHARK! Your coin is a precision-engraved portrait of a legendary shark, and the second-largest fish found in Canadian waters!
SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE! Your coin includes a serialized certificate!
TWO OUNCES 99.99% PURE SILVER! Your 2 oz. coin’s larger diameter (50 mm) allows ample room to showcase the details in both the shark and its prey. In addition, your coin is GST/HST exempt!
Design
Designed by Canadian artist Emily Damstra, your coin captures the imposing stature of a great white shark as it moves through Canadian waters. The viewpoint from beneath it emphasizes the large size and the streamlined shape of this solitary predator, whose conical snout is in full view. Its mouth is only slightly ajar, allowing a limited view of the famously serrated teeth that provoke such widespread fear. Rendered in outstanding detail by Royal Canadian Mint engravers, this highly detailed portrait includes the faint markings and scars along the torpedo-shaped body, the gills on its side, as well as the shark’s dark eye. Adding to a sense of depth and dynamic movement is the wide path cut by the shark as it catches up to a familiar prey: a school of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus). The reverse also features the engraved word “CANADA”, the year “2018” and the face value “30 DOLLARS”. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
Packaging
2018 Canadian $30 Great White Shark with Blue Rhodium Plating 2 oz Fine Silver Coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box and Certificate of Authenticity.
