2013 $10 Fine Silver Coin – A Partridge in a Pear Tree

The festive song, "A Partridge in a Pear Tree," has inspired thousands of beautiful images like the one on these stunning coins.

A new beautifully designed and exquisitely engraved fine silver coin featuring a selective coloured section to enhance the beauty of the Holiday season and is an excellent addition to any collection featuring silver coins, coloured coins, holiday-themed coins and unique engraving. Limited mintage of 10,000 coins means this beautiful coin is sure to be popular among numismatists and gift-givers alike.

Designed by Canadian artist Risto Turunen, the coin features a stylised scene of a partridge posed gracefully in a fruit-laden pear tree before a frosty window, beyond which glowing snowflakes fall. The base of the tree, bedecked by holly and pinecones, features a red enamelled ribbon. The polished frame surrounding the image is embossed with the words "Canada" and "10 dollars" and the year "2013."

The coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell case lined with a black flock and protected by a black sleeve.
