This is the first coin in the 12 coin "O Canada" series from the Royal Canadian Mint. This coin was released in January 2013 and other coins are scheduled to be released each month for the next year. Each coin is 1/2 Oz of 99.99% pure silver so the total 12 coin set will be 6 Oz of pure silver.
This coin features and Inukshuk, a symbol of the Inuit people of Canada and Canada as a whole. Inukshuks, which are made of rocks, are typically used as markers to mark hunting grounds, routes and other things in Canada's arctic regions. This coin is a nice start to the series and makes me look forward to the rest. I think they did a nice job with the artwork so I hope the quality continues.
