This was the second coin released in the Royal Canadian Mint's $20 for $20 series and is largely regarded as having the best design of the series. The design features a boy paddling a modern canoe and his reflection is a native Canadian paddling a traditional canoe. If you flip the coin upside down, the native paddler has the boy as his reflection. Overall, the design is absolutely beautiful and that is one reason why this coin fetches such high prices on the secondary market.
Like all of the coins in this series, this coin is 1/4 ounce of 99.99% pure silver and has a $20 face value. The mintage for this coin was 250,000 but, like all $20 for $20 coins, it sold out quickly.
