2015 Fine Silver Canadian Coins UNESCO at home and abroad

  
2015 Fine Silver Canadian Coins: UNESCO at home and abroad. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization-UNESCO-was founded in 1945 and created its World Heritage Convention in 1972. This Convention designates sites around the world that hold outstanding natural or cultural value for humanity.

This exciting new series by the Royal Canadian Mint features 1oz pure silver coins with designs which pair some of Canada's most stunning World Heritage properties with other properties around the world, to illustrate how two sites of global importance share similarities while being so different. The first coin brings to life the stunning beauty of the Canadian Rockies alongside the world-renowned majesty of Japan's Mount Fuji, and incorporates the Japanese text for Rocky. The one half of the design presents a well-known scene of Jasper National Park's Spirit Island, located on stunning Maligne Lake. Opposite this image and mirroring its composition is a landscape portrait of snow-capped Mount Fuji, as it is often depicted in art and photography. The second coin features Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park and China's Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries, both UNESCO sites that, while hosting distinct flora and fauna, bear similarities in their importance to natural heritage and to the flagship species that call them home.

Exquisitely detailed and highlighted with multiple finishes, the coin accentuates the natural beauty and unique features of each site. Your coins are encapsulated and presented in Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with custom beauty boxes. This item is in the category "Coins & Paper Money\Bullion\Silver\Coins".
