2020 Canada Silver $20 Black and Gold: The Canadian Horse

A rare find! Strong and steady, Canada’s national horse is the embodiment of our collective spirit. The magnificent Canadian horse is brought to life on this Gold and black rhodium-plated coin.

The special bond that exists between humans and horses has transformed the world and shaped our history. Today, equine-based therapy is helping many Canadians find balance in their lives. They are renewing an age-old partnership that is built on intuition: the horse responds to our emotions and we respond to the horse’s movement — two opposite yet complementary forces that have moved forward as one.

Coin Highlights:

• Contains 1 oz of .9999 fine Silver.
• Limited mintage of 3,500 coins.
• Coin comes inside a mint-issued clamshell box with certificate of authenticity.
• Obverse: Features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
• Reverse: Inspired by the yin yang symbol, the circular reverse design by Claude Thivierge features two side profiles of the Canadian horse (Equus ferus caballus) — one plated with Gold, the other with black rhodium. The two opposites interact to form a single dynamic image that celebrates the human-horse relationship and reflects on the heritage breed’s near extinction status.
• Guaranteed by the Royal Canadian Mint.
