Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco, yourcoin's design travels to the coastal waters of British Columbia to offer a glimpse of marine life in the Pacific Ocean. The engraved word "CANADA" hangs in the air over the breaking swell waves, which add a sense of motion to the design as they sweep over the increasingly shallow water. Transitioning to the underwater realm, an exceptional amount of detail brings the rock-lined sea floor to life; one can easily imagine the soft swaying motionof the plants as each wave moves overtop in quick succession. Nonetheless, the focus of the design remains the two chinook salmon (Oncorhynchustshawytscha) as they feast on small fish; the use of selective gold plating highlights the intricacy of the engraved design, which recreates the textured appearance of the salmon's scales and fins to provide a more life-like portrait of this iconic species.
