This specimen was lot 3259 in Steve Album Auction 55 (Santa Rosa, CA, May 2026), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "CANADA: Elizabeth II, 1952-2022, AR 20 dollars, 2015, Ice Dancer, contains 1 troy ounce of pure silver, with COA and original Royal Canadian Mint case of issue, Proof. This coin features the colorized image of a family skating on an ice pond. As per the Royal Canadian Mint, 'As soon as we start skating, we're carried away by the dance! We race across the ice. Chases, discoveries and laughter are the order of the day with family and friends. We can't escape the bruises and tired knees, but they're soon forgotten. The hands that once helped us up now encourage us to stand on our own two feet. Inspired by time spent with his daughter, Douglas R. Laird painted this precious scene - now reproduced on a coin - that illustrates the pleasure of sharing good times with family, and encourages young people to realize their dreams. While skating has long been a popular winter pastime for Canadians, it's figure skating that has really taken off in Canada over the past century. The power, grace and beauty of the skaters, whether in singles or pairs, fires the imagination and inspires thousands of children every year to take part in one of Canada's many world-class figure skating programs."
