| Reverse description | The fully colourised reverse depicts a vivid nocturnal wilderness camping scene in the Canadian tradition. Two figures, seated with their backs to the viewer, warm themselves around a blazing campfire set on a rocky shoreline. A green tent is visible to the left, while a broad river or lake stretches into the middle distance, its surface reflecting the moonlight. The background features a treeline of dark conifers beneath a sweeping twilight sky of purples and pinks, with a full moon rising and a bird in flight over the water. The artist's initials 'JK' appear in the lower right of the field. |

Part of the RCM's "Celebrating Canada" series issued for the country's 150th confederation anniversary, this piece belongs to a run of themed collector silver that flooded the market in 2017. The campfire motif drew on a broadly nostalgic reading of Canadian outdoor culture — inoffensive, popular, and produced in the kind of mintage volumes that keep secondary market premiums permanently modest.
