2026 $30 2 oz Fine Silver Coin The Jack Pine by Tom Thomson (252444)

In creating The Jack Pine (1916-17), Tom Thomson wasn’t merely painting a tree—he was expressing the spiritual essence, beauty and strength of the Canadian wilderness. Over a century later, that image still resonates, reminding us of the enduring relationship between Canadians and the land.

Rendered here in 99.99% pure silver, The Jack Pine takes on a brighter, more contemporary tone. The mirror finish shifts focus to the fine engraving, catching the light in a way that animates the landscape’s textures and contours. The absence of colour doesn’t diminish the impact: it deepens it, shifting the emphasis from the hues of Canada to the enduring shape of its natural spirit.
