The 2010 Winter Olympic Games will be held from February 12 to February 28, 2010 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. To commemorate this spectacular event, the Royal Canadian Mint has struck this special Silver Maple Leaf coin. In a tribute to the first inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest, this pure silver coin bears the image of a Thunderbird totem. The Thunderbird is a legendary creature with supernatural powers and is richly depicted, in the art, songs and oral histories of many Pacific Northwest Coast cultures.
