Low mintages and thought-provoking design
Heightened purity and exclusive mintages combine to deliver a numismatic collectible of the highest order. Five ounces of 99.99% pure silver or 99.99% pure gold provide a stunning canvas for an abstract and thought-provoking design that will generate plenty of conversation as admirers explore its myriad of elements and symbols.
These beautiful gold and silver coins truly celebrate the energy and dynamics of the Host Region — Vancouver, British Columbia. As unique montages of energy and ideals, they create a legacy that will inspire generations to come.
Celebrating diversity and balance
This coin’s reverse features everyday objects from British Columbia’s urban and natural landscapes — all coming together in unexpected ways to create an overall impression of diversity and balance. The inlays used in this design display bubbles, salmon, fern, Gas Town brickwork, technology, rain, lattice, sea foam, firs, clouds and ice, while the overlays display trees, an aboriginal canoe and geese that transform into a kite.
