MOTHER AND BABY ICE FISHING 1st coin in a new series featuring contemporary aboriginal
art incorporated in a colorful design using oxidized niobium to diffract light
and cause brilliant colors, naturally. This coin is certified to be 99.99% fine silver with a
diameter of 28 millimeters and a metal weight of 8.5 grams. It features an
innovative minting process that incorporates a niobium insert struck into the
coin’s silver core. The niobium is selectively colored using a unique
oxidization process produced naturally by niobium’s distinct properties.
Niobium is used in superalloys, superconducting magnets and is commonly used to
strengthen steel. The ability to make unique colors directly from niobium, make
it an interesting metal for coins. This coin’s reverse design is by Inuit
artist Ulaayu Pilurtuut. Pilurtuut’s design shows a joyous mother celebrating
her latest catch with her baby in her amautik. Rendered in a contemporary Inuit
style, it captures the lighthearted spirit and humor commonly associated with
this ancient practice. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Special Features: - This unique fine silver coin features a niobium metal
insert with unique coloring that enhances the beauty of this Inuit’s artist
design. - Distinct and innovative minting process: Niobium insert is
struck into the core of a fine silver coin and then selectively colored through
a unique oxidization process. After oxidation, the niobium diffuses light to
create brilliant colors. The Royal Canadian Mint controls the oxidation to
create desired colors. - This coin portrays the unique bond between a Mother and
her child engaged in an important Inuit family activity, fishing.
