Formed roughly 12,000 years ago, Niagara Falls is a spectacular site consisting of three scenic waterfalls. The largest of these is Horseshoe Falls, located on the Canadian side. Niagara Falls was originally formed by receding glaciers at the end of the most recent ice age. The Great Lakes had recently formed from the melting glaciers and their freshwater spilled into the Niagara River before flowing over a steep slope called the Niagara Escarpment.
The obverse of 2017 10 oz Canadian Niagara Falls Coins contains a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This design features the rarely-seen portrait of Her Late Majesty by Arnold Machin that debuted in 1968. In it, the Queen faces right and wears the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The portrait is set against a beautiful radial backdrop. There are also inscriptions reading Elizabeth II, D G Regina, 50 Dollars, 2017.
On the reverse side of 2017 10 oz Silver Niagara Falls Coins, we see a couple admiring Horseshoe Falls from an observatory deck. This image beautifully captures the majestic size and scope of the waterfall. The reverse also contains inscriptions along the rim that read Canada, .9999 Fine Silver, 10 oz Argent Pur, .9999.
