- Obverse: Features an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth

This coin was designed by Canadian Artist Claudio D'Angelo. The reverse features three red candles of varying heights to give the illusion of depth, closer candles are larger and as they get further away they get smaller. All three candles are coloured with red enamel, something that requires specialized engraving to ensure accurate setting. The candles are lit and sit in identical candle holders that are specially engraved to cast their own glow. There are two large pinecones in the background, the one on the right is standing up and the one on the left is laying down. There is a decorative pine bough in the centre to complete the holiday feel. The words "Canada 10 Dollars 2013" are engraved on the bottom. The obverse features the Susanna Blunt effigy and the words "Elizabeth II D.G Regina".
ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT
The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
