2010 Canadian $8 Maple of Strength Proof Silver & Hologram Coin
The universal power of the horse
No single animal has contributed more to the development and spread of civilization than the horse. It fuelled farms; powered armies and was the privilege of emperors and kings. For centuries, the horse was a significant status symbol, often portrayed in statues and carvings buried with important figures in history.
Legends abound. From east to west, the horse embodies the same compelling character, making it a natural symbol for this coin that celebrates the tradition and history of Chinese communities; the strength that is an integral part of Canadian culture and nationhood.
In Chinese culture, the horse is a token figure of strength. It is the seventh sign in the Chinese zodiac and a significant status symbol, often portrayed in figurines found buried with important figures in Chinese history. The character symbol for strength is "li". It seems that the horse has a natural association with this symbol, because its shape bears a likeness to a plough and plough share used as farming implement.
The overall decorative design exemplifies some of the ornate art found in many typical Chinese pottery, embroideries, and sculptures.
Design
Five horses parade around a colourful hologram featuring a sprig of two maple leaves. With a decorative pattern in the background, the overall design of this coin echoes the ornate art typical of Chinese pottery, embroidery and sculpture.
