Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Elizabeth Sim, your coin is filled with all the warmth of a summer day, as it speaks ofa personal connection with nature. The cottage setting is a familiar one to many Canadians; stretching across the entire reverse, the borderless backgroundimage creates the feeling of standing at the water's edge, looking out at a dock and the kayak that awaits a late afternoon excursion. While Texturized Colour technology sets it apart from its surroundings, the easel-mounted canvas is positioned in a waythat suggests the viewer is in fact the artist who has captured this idyllic setting on canvas. The useof Canvas Effect technology adds yet another touch of realism by re-creating the characteristic surfacetexture of a finished painting, such as the brushstrokes and the fibres of the canvas.
