1 oz 2026 Canada's National Parks: Kluane National Park and Reserve Colourized Proof Silver Coin | Royal Canadian Mint

Head to Kluane National Park and Reserve and enjoy Canada’s beauty at its peak.

The journey continues! Coin #2 in the Canada’s National Parks series heads to southwest Yukon, where some of Canada’s most stunning landscapes rise up to dizzying heights.

In Southern Tutchone, this region is known as Dań Keyǐ/the People’s Country, home to Dań/The People for thousands of years where their knowledge is based on an interconnected relationship to the land. Within Dań Keyǐ is Kluane National Park and Reserve, a mountaineer’s dream and a haven for outdoor enthusiasts: 17 of Canada’s 20 highest peaks (including our tallest, Mount Logan) are located here, as are the world’s largest non-polar icefields. From backcountry hiking to rafting by ancient glaciers, there are so many ways to enjoy and explore this vast protected area, where some of the greatest biodiversity in northern Canada lies nestled among ice-covered giants.

Kwiyaajàl’/We are happy to welcome you.

Coin #2: Head north to take in nature’s grandeur.

DID YOU KNOW?

Established in 1976, Kluane (pronounced “kloo-AH-nee”) National Park and Reserve is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, declared in 1979, along with its neighbours Wrangell-St. Elias and Glacier Bay National Parks in Alaska, and Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park in British Columbia; together, these parks form the world’s largest internationally protected area. In 1986, the 90-kilometre portion of the Alsek River that flows through Kluane National Park and Reserve was designated a Canadian Heritage River. The river is recognized for its impressive natural features, 10,000 years of cultural history, and world-class wilderness rafting.

Over thousands of years, First Nations peoples, including Southern Tutchone people of Champagne and Aishihik First Nations and Kluane First Nation, have acquired and passed down the knowledge and skills needed to live off of the abundance of plants and animals in this land of climatic and geographic extremes. Their stewardship, based on this knowledge, has enriched the health of the land.

Today, Kluane National Park and Reserve is managed cooperatively by Champagne and Aishihik First Nations, Kluane First Nation, and Parks Canada, through the Kluane National Park Management Board. Sharing knowledge and respecting the ways of First Nations’ people as the original stewards of the land are key elements in the management of Kluane National Park and Reserve.

You can find over 400 red Adirondack chairs placed in peaceful, breathtaking locations from coast to coast to coast. Rest, relax and discover the wonders Parks Canada has to offer.

Designed by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn, your coin’s reverse invites you to take a seat and enjoy the view from Kluane National Park and Reserve, located in southwest Yukon. The view from the shore of Mät’àtäna Män (Kathleen Lake) is framed by the colourful branches of black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) and fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) flowers, as the engraved King’s Throne Mountain is reflected on the colourful surface of the water. Selective colour also highlights two red Adirondack chairs—a familiar sight in Canada’s national parks. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
