The Great Lakes region is where 8.5 million Canadians live, work and play, and these bodies of water are instantly recognizable on this 5 oz fine Silver coin. All the traditional map features can be found on this coin: borders, roads, urban centers, and even longitude and latitude lines on both sides. For added realism, color over an engraved relief denotes changes in land elevation throughout the Great Lakes region, where the most famous drop occurs at Niagara Falls.
Coin Highlights:
- Contains 5 oz of .9999 fine Silver.
- Limited mintage of only 2,000 coins.
- Encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
- Obverse: Features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
- Reverse: Designed by artist and Canadian geographic cartographer, Chris Brackley, featuring a magnificent custom map of the Great Lakes region, rendered to a scale of “1:22,000,000.” All five lakes (Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario) have a luminous silver appearance thanks to a mirror-like (brilliant) finish, while their names appear as frosted elements. Each color represents a different land cover: three shades of green to represent different forest types, blue/green represents wetland, pink represents urban space, yellow to represent farmland and lastly red lines indicate roadways. Beneath the word “CANADA” (right), a compass rose indicates direction, while graticules—lines representing longitude and latitude—are painted on the reverse and laser-engraved on the obverse.
