| Additional information |
The inukshuk — a stone landmark construction used by Inuit and other Arctic peoples for navigation, hunting, and communication — gained sudden international visibility when it was selected as the central symbol of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics organizing committee in 2005. This coin predates the Games by two years, issued during the lead-up period when Olympic branding was actively being promoted across Canadian commerce and collectibles.
The .9999 fine silver specification places it among the RCM's bullion-grade issues rather than the lower-purity commemorative program.
