2017 Canada 10 Dollar Silver McIntyre Creek Matte Proof
Behold the Gorgeous Aurora Borealis Over McIntyre Creek!
A Yukon Treasure, as Seen Through the Lens of Canadian Geographic!
Canada is a country full of picturesque locations, and since 1930, the Royal Canadian Geographical Society has been documenting the country's stunning visual beauty with their bimonthly magazine Canadian Geographic. So, when the Royal Canadian Mint wanted to commemorate Canada's 150th anniversary with silver proofs featuring iconic images from across the country, they knew exactly who to call!
The ninth coin in the 13-coin Celebrating Canada's 150th series, this 2017 Silver McIntyre Creek Matte Proof represents the Yukon with an image inspired by Peter Mather's breathtaking photograph. Located in the Yukon's capital of Whitehorse, McIntyre Creek is brought to life using the Royal Canadian Mint's patented and proprietary colorization processes. From the depths of winter, the creek's snowy banks and tall conifers are crowned by the galactic display of the northern lights, all minted in a half-ounce of 99.99% pure silver!
Of course, accompanying the iconic image on this legal-tender 10 dollar Canadian matte proof is Susanna Blunt's portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Your proof will arrive to you encased in a protective acrylic capsule inside a maroon clamshell within a black beauty box -- all with Royal Canadian Mint branding and a numbered certificate of authenticity.
As Canada's 150th anniversary is celebrated throughout 2017, collectors around the world are quickly picking up the Royal Canadian Mint's inventive, festive and artistic coins created for this once-in-a-lifetime event. This proof, and its series, is no exception! Supplies are limited and moving fast, so pick up this picture-perfect silver matte proof for your collection today!
