About the Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Emily Damstra, your coin utilizes a unique vantage point to capture the awe-inspiring autumn splendours of a beautiful setting. There's a towering sense of height as the viewer's gaze sweeps along the trunk of the mighty maple tree, moving upward from the base over the intricately engraved fissures and ridges, to the branches that seem to spread out overhead and across the sky. There, a lush canopy of fall foliage blazes brightly with rich hues of red, orange and yellow thathave been painstakingly applied over the engravingto recreate nature's autumnal palette. Addingto this immersive viewing experience, the coin's surface lends itself naturally to recreating thewaning sun's golden rays, which filter throughthe gaps among the colourful leaves on a magnificent autumn day in Canada.
