Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco, your coin combines detailed engraving, innovative colour technology and various finishing techniques to showcase a brilliantly coloured rainbow on a stormy day. Against the rolling hills in the background, a farmhouse and barn sit atop a gentle slope where a road leads to tworound bales in the foreground. The eye is naturally drawn to the multi-coloured arc that descends from the dark storm clouds above; here, the skilful combination of diffused technology and vivid paint adds a subtle transparency quality to the rainbow's radiant colours, and a faint glow above it, as the rain tapers off. There's a hopeful clearing above this rural landscape, with the appearance of blue sky in the break between the clouds behind therainbow.
