# 70 - Another Raid with @thedamus - Final
Continuing yesterday's article we will show you the last three coins of the 2014 "O Canada" silver series.
Their nominal value is $10, with a 99.99% silver purity and weighting 15.87g each. They have a Matte Proof finish.
The first coin is the "Bison".
The reverse presents a portrait of three adult bison and a bison calf in their natural habitat. The largest adult, furthest from the viewer, has its head slightly raised as though listening and watching for danger. The bison’s’ shaggy fur and the color variations between adults and calf are beautifully rendered through masterful engraving and the use of varied finishes.
The second coin is "The Northern Lights", a natural phenomenon as awe-inspiring as the Canadian wilderness itself.
The reverse features an iconic northern image of a wolf howling against a night sky bathed in Aurora Borealis—the Northern Lights. The full-color background anchors the image. The Lights’ beauty in this image is doubled by its reflection in a yet-unfrozen lake. In the distance behind the wolf, on the far left side of the image, a coniferous forest rises skyward on a steep hill. On the far horizon, more hills hint at the vast wilderness beneath the stunningly lit sky. Wolf, shore, hillside, and boulders are beautifully reflected in the water below. In the foreground, the tip of a rocky shoreline anchors the scene.
The last coin is a "Canadian Holiday Scene".
The evocative reverse presents a winter scene that captures the essence of cozy holiday scenery in Canada. In this festive image that highlights Canada’s rural experience, we see the rolling hills and snow-covered boreal landscape familiar to people across Canada. A country house with sharply peaked roof and screened-in porch and a snowy path are depicted. Along the pathway, we meet a waving, top-hatted snowman wearing a warm scarf and holding a wrapped gift box under one tree-branch “arm”. Opposite the house is a large conifer covered in snow and decorated with glass holiday balls.
Thank you for reading. Please comment, upvote, resteem and advise me.
Man Ron, that wolf coin is a beauty, I'm not usually a big fan of coloured coins, but its sweet! they're all great, nice plundering buddy!
It was a great buy!
I’m with @fat-elvis. I don’t care for coloured coins, either, but the wolf coin sure is nice. Really captures The Northern Lights real well!
This is the post I've been waiting for with "The Northern Lights". I've never seen it before the first post. I think it is the most beautiful in the set. I love the beauty of the northern lights and the reflection is amazing. The wolf in the midst of the color and the reflection of the wolf are the focus with the beauty around. Fabulous. Thanks.
Overall, they are all great coins. This "Canadian Holiday Scene" is also beautiful with its detail. It exudes the emotion of the Holiday and that's pretty amazing for a coin to accomplish.
This was one of the best series RCM issued, due to the theme and the details. I am happy that you liked it, but stay tuned because more RCM series are coming... :=)
The raid with @thedamus looks like a blast!
Yes, it was fun and very profitable. :=)
wow the second coin is really good looking
RCM at its best!

I think it is a very interesting idea.
I did!
Our mint in Canada does produce some absolutely beautiful coins !!!!
This series is one of the best issued by RCM. In a near future I will show the rest of the 2013 "O Canada" silver series.
