The Royal Canadian Mint unveiled a new series of 20 dollars silver proof coins honoring Canada's National Parks. This first coin in the series depicts the Pacific Rim National Park in British Columbia. Reverse: A dramatic illustration of the Pacific Rim National Park covers the entire surface. Obverse: In the center, the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Along the rim, the inscriptions “20 DOLLARS”, “CANADA”, and "ELIZABETH II". At the bottom, the year of issue. The Pacific Rim National Park Reserve of Canada represents the coastal lowland forests of the Pacific Coast Mountain region, and the near shore waters of the Vancouver Island's shelf marine region. The cedar hemlock forest (composed of western red cedar and western hemlock trees) is found where the soil is relatively well drained, the air is protected from the ocean's salt wind, and humans have not caused significant disturbance. This is the forest that people most often picture when they think of Canada's temperate rainforest: ferns and moss hanging from branches, a jumbled under story of plants reaching for precious light, and the distinctive candelabra-like tops of western red cedar crowning the forest. Face Value 20 Dollars Year of Issue 2005 Composition 99.99% Silver Finish Proof Size 38 mm Weight 31.39 grams Mintage 13,083 ** Includes: Capsule, Official Case and Individually-Numbered Certificate of Authenticity. | ||||||||||||
