2013 Canadian $3 Fishing Fine Silver Coin

Special Moments With Dad

A father and child, a dog, a dock, and fishing lines: just add water to create the perfect recipe for life-long memories. Sons and daughters across Canada and around the world treasure special moments just like this one. A few tips from Dad on casting and reeling. A word here and there about floats and lures. Then long stretches of silence filled with contentment, anticipation, and the powerful bond as knowledge is passed down. Maybe the fish will bite today. Maybe not. What matters most is what is shared in the quietest moments, as father and child become links in an ancient chain of laughter, learning, and companionship.

Design

The reverse design by Canadian artist John Mantha portrays an uncomplicated yet evocative moment between father and child. Sitting with their back to the viewer on a long dock that spans the width of the reverse field, a father and child are joined by their young dog. The father, seated on the left side of the image wearing a t-shirt, shorts and a baseball cap, prepares a fishing rod for his young son. The boy, seated in the centre of the image and wearing a fishing hat, t-shirt and shorts, is about to reach for the rod. Their bare feet dangle above the water below. To the boy’s right sits a young dog, ears perked up as it looks out across the water. The father’s rod lies on the dock to his left while the boy’s line, already in the water below, sends out small ripples.
