Iceberg at Dawn
From colourful flora toiconic fauna and landmarks, the breathtaking photographs of Canadian Geographic reflect the rich diversity of the Canadian experience. The 12th coin in the Celebrating Canada’s 150th series shines the spotlight on some of the spectacular sights seen along the place where land and sea meet— the rugged coast of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Based on a photograph taken by Canadian photographer Dale Wilson, the reverse features vibrant colour over detailed engraving that recreates an awe-inspiring sight off of Canada’s easternmost coast. From April to mid-June, icebergs are a frequent sight in the waters off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, which offers some of the best iceberg viewing opportunities in the world. Here, the pink andpurple colours of dawn provide a beautiful backdrop to the snow-whiteshape of the glacial giant as it passes through “Iceberg Alley” off the coast of Twillingate, N.L., dubbed the “Iceberg Capital of the World.” The reverse also features the engraved word “CANADA” and the dates “1867-2017” to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
This coin is the twelfth issue of Celebrating Canada's 150th collection. A total of 13 coins, representing the 13 Canadian provinces and territories, will be released every month between June 2016 and July 2017.
