Description

Waters is the final sixth commemorative coin released in the Northern Nature coin series. Six coins in total have been minted: Summer, Flora, Fauna, Winter, Wilderness and Waters.

Northern waters are an exceptional blend of sea and lakes, ice-covered wintry expanses and summer shores teeming with waterfowl and their broods. Aquatic ecosystems are frequently fragile, and individual species can be indispensable to the whole.
