This fine silver coin illustrates the experience of dog sledding under the aurora borealis in full colour. Dog sledding was once the choice mode of winter transportation for Indigenous peoples. The infectious energy of the dogs lunging forward and working in tandem combined with the solitude of a winter night illuminated by only the moon or the northern lights makes this a much-loved seasonal activity in Canada.
