There is no time of year more beautiful than autumn. Summer brings warm temperatures and the coating of white snow in winter has its own charm, but there’s nothing like the comfortable temperatures and vibrant colors of an autumn day. These colors are captured brilliantly on a new Canadian coin. Right now, the 2016 1 oz Proof Canadian Silver Autumn Tranquility Coin is available from JM Bullion.

Few coins have the brilliant combination of colorized finishes that you’ll find on this 2016 1 oz Proof Canadian Silver Autumn Tranquility Coin. The use of the term tranquil in this coin’s title is appropriate given the visual brilliance, and warm colorization of a wooded meadow.
The design is all the more brilliant for its use of immersive artwork. There are maple branches that extend into the border on either side of the design field, giving the viewer a sense of actually walking through this wooded space, embracing its warmth and beautiful array of colors.
On the reverse side of the 2016 1 oz Proof Canadian Silver Autumn Tranquility Coin is the image of a small, wooden bridge over a meandering creek. The sun is visible poking through the heavily forested background, its warm yellow rays blending splendidly with the orange, red, and brown tones of the trees.
The obverse of all Canadian coinage features the effigy of the United Kingdom’s ruling monarch. For modern coins, it is the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II that graces the obverse of the coins, with this particular design from Susanna Blunt, a Canadian artist.
All Canadian currency is struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, one of the world’s foremost producers of gold and silver precious metals. The sovereign mint of the nation, the Royal Canadian Mint was founded in Ottawa in 1908, and opened a secondary facility in Winnipeg in the 1980s.
