| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse reproduces, in finely engraved relief, a scene inspired by the painting 'Indian Wigwam in Lower Canada' by Cornelius Krieghoff, depicting three figures — two Indigenous persons and a European settler wearing a broad-brimmed hat — gathered near a conical wigwam set among trees in a forested winter landscape. The artist's facsimile signature 'C. Krieghoff' appears in the lower portion of the central design. The legend 'CANADA' arcs across the upper rim, while '5 DOLLARS' and '2015' are inscribed along the lower rim, all separated by the beaded inner border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's "Untold History of Canada" series, this issue draws on early-contact-period documentation of Algonquian-speaking peoples in the St. Lawrence lowlands — a region administered as Bas-Canada from 1791 until the Act of Union collapsed the designation in 1841. The French term "wigwam" entered colonial records through Abenaki, where the structure described was a birchbark dwelling built for seasonal occupation rather than permanence.
The .9999 fineness places it among the purest silver issues the RCM produces routinely — a standard the mint adopted aggressively in the 2000s to differentiate its collector bullion from competitors.
