This $3 fine silver coin is a unique keepsake that delivers a touching and intimate perspective of Canada according to one of its most treasured personalities, Martin Short. Short consulted extensively with Canadian artist Tony Bianco to create this coin to express what Canada means to him. It features Short’s summer home in the Muskoka of northern Ontario—a peaceful and inviting place that Short affectionately describes as, “the most staggeringly beautiful part of Canada,” that serves up all the amenities necessary for him to laugh, play and relax like nowhere else on Earth.
The coin’s reverse design shows a sailboat gliding across a serene lake towards a boathouse while pine and maple trees provide an inviting canopy over two Muskoka chairs. Nearby, Canada’s National Flag proudly waves from a marine-inspired flag pole standing on one of the region’s signature whaleback rocks.
