2018 Canadian Coasts Pacific Sunset Proof Silver Gilded Coin
Discover the beauty of Canada’s western shoreline with the 2018 Canadian Coasts Pacific Sunset Proof Silver Gilded Coin, a stunning collector release from the Royal Canadian Mint. Crafted from 99.99% pure silver, this square-shaped proof coin celebrates the breathtaking landscapes, wildlife, and natural harmony of Canada’s Pacific Coast. Enhanced with selective gold plating, this limited-edition collectible captures the warmth of a coastal sunset and the deep connection between land, sea, and sky.
The Canadian Coasts series is a three-coin collection created to honor the world’s longest coastline and the three oceans surrounding Canada: the Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic. As the first release in the series, the Pacific Sunset coin highlights the dramatic beauty of Canada’s western shores through a unique square format and highly detailed engraving.
The reverse design, created by Maurade Baynton, places a radiant sunset at the center of the composition. Selective gold plating adds a glowing finish to the sun and highlights the famous Kermode bear, also known as the Spirit Bear, creating a striking visual connection between sunlight and nature. Surrounding the center are carefully engraved symbols representing the Pacific Coast, including the orca, sailboat, and coastal wildlife. The arrangement forms a compass-like pattern, symbolizing exploration, direction, and the interconnected relationship between all elements of nature.
