The 58-kilometre Niagara River is home to one of the world's greatest natural wonders: the massive Niagara Falls. A destination for explorers, daredevils and tourists, the Falls are iconic not only for their beauty, but for connecting Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. A major source of electric power generation and fresh water, the Niagara Falls is an important symbol of the rich base of natural resources that make Canada unique.

Designed by Canadian artist Emily Damstra, your coin depicts a man, woman and child standing behind the fence on an observation deck at the base of Horseshoe Falls-one of the three waterfalls that makes up the Niagara Falls. The Falls are viewed from a vantage point of being near the base, highlighting its massive size and power. This coin also features the jagged rock face of the Niagara Gorge, and two seagulls soaring overhead. The reverse is engraved with the word 'CANADA,' the date '2013' and the face value of '10 DOLLARS.'

The second coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting new O Canada series focusing on iconic Canadian images, this beautiful coin celebrates the rich history and symbolism associated with the Canadian beaver.

The ninth coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting new O Canada series focusing on iconic Canadian images, this beautiful coin celebrates a great Canadian sport, hockey.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Tony Bianco presents a small group of individuals enjoying a pick-up game on a small local rink. In the foreground, we see the backs of a father and child, sticks over their shoulders and skates hanging from the sticks by their laces in a typical Canadian fashion.

Bundled in warm coats, snowpants, and toques, they walk through the snow to a small outdoor community hockey rink. In the background, other players lean against the outside of the boards, sticks held high, waiting for their turn to join the game.

On the rinks itself, an adult and several children are engaged in a game. The adult and one of the children wave their hands and sticks high in the air, signalling perhaps that someone has scored a goal. In the distant background, stark leafless trees rise against the wintry horizon.
