10 Dollars - Elizabeth II The Inukshuk, selective gold plated

The inukshuk became internationally recognized when a stylized version was adopted as the emblem for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics — a decision that generated considerable debate among Inuit communities, who noted that the design departed from traditional stone-stacking conventions and was created by a non-Inuit designer. This coin followed in that cultural wake, issued three years after the Games as part of the RCM's ongoing selective-plating program pairing .9999 fine silver with targeted gold application to create tonal contrast on a single surface.
