The last coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting new O Canada series focusing on iconic Canadian images. This beautiful coin celebrates the unique blend of diversity, tradition, and modernity that characterizes Canada's celebration of winter holidays. The reverse design by Canadian artist Doug Geldart presents the scene of a Canadian city street in the winter holiday season. Against the angular backdrop of modern glass and stone buildings, the traditional symbols of the holidays come to life. On the left side of the image, a horse-drawn sleigh passes along the snow-covered street, its top-hatted driver dressed in traditional garb and its smiling traveller dressed in toque, scarf, and mitts and warmed by a striped blanket. From the right, a bundled-up pedestrian crosses the street as the sleigh passes. In the background, a snowman seems to wave from behind the right side of a tall holiday tree decorated with garland and lights. A ribboned banner rises above the quaint streetscape.
