The Royal Canadian Mint has started accepting orders for the latest release within their “$20 for $20″ silver coin program, which offers a 99.99% pure silver coin for its legal tender face value of $20.
Canadian Snowman $20 Silver Coin
The reverse design for the new coin features a fanciful interpretation of a snowman. He is pictured within a snowdrift wearing a winter scarf and hat completed with a carrot nose and broad smiling mouth.
His spindly arms made of sticks help him to take part in the great winter tradition of the snowball fight. The design is by Jesse Koreck. Inscriptions read “Canada 2014″, “Fine Silver Argent Pur 9999″, and the denomination of “20 Dollars”.
On the obverse of each coin is the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Susanna Blunt. Inscriptions include “Elizabeth II” and “D G Regina”.
Each coin is struck in 99.99% pure silver and carries a specimen quality finish. The weight is 7.96 grams and the diameter is 27 mm with a serrated edge.
