This Is Canada: Wondrous Waters – Great Lakes - 1 oz. Fine Silver Coin
About
Our final Wondrous Waters destination: the Great Lakes.
The Great Lakes form the largest body of freshwater on Earth and they were the main arteries of early Canada—the freshwater seas upon which people and goods have travelled since time immemorial. Though we share these waters with the United States, the pristine wilderness of Canada’s Great Lakes region—so lovingly captured on this fourth coin—has done much to shape the world’s perception of Canada as a place teeming with life, including a number of beloved wildlife species that are regarded as quintessentially, and iconically, Canadian.
Coin #4: This is the Great Lakes basin. This is Canada.

Your coin’s reverse captures the iconic beauty of the landscapes and vistas of the Great Lakes.

Compass elements form a frame that contains the word “CANADA” and a face value of “20 DOLLARS”. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
