2018 Canada $25 Timeless Icons - Piedfort Caribou Fine Silver (TAX Exempt)
The caribou and the maple leaf are the defining images of a nation: one is a national icon and a symbol of Canada's North, the other predates the flag as an emblem of this land, its people, and our hope for the future. The Royal Canadian Mint reflects on a nation's 150-year journey - and beyond - through the fusion of two iconic symbols that continue to inspire admiration by proudly representing all that is Canada.
