Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn, your coin presentsa contemporary reinterpretation of a classic winterscene. The view from above allows for a more playful perspective, as two Canadian youth make the most of a snow day by building a snowman. Geometric shapesand the deliberate choice of colours add elements of modern design; and yet, they evoke a strong sense of nostalgia-especially in the concentric circles that form four evergreen trees, whose swirled appearances are reminiscent of lollipops! Using cool-toned colours and engraving to convey bright light and shadows, this layered design radiates with a light-hearted spirit that is also reflected in the shadow engraved on the coin's silver surface.
Did you knowÃ
Building a snowman has long been a winter tradition around the world-anywhere!
Your building material must have the right moisture content! Powder snow may be ideal for skiing but it doesn't tend to stick together very well; on the other end of the spectrum, melting snowor slush is often too watery to hold a shape.
One of Canada's tallest "snow"men resides year-round in Beardmore, Ontario. While it's not really made of snow, the smiling, roadside landmark does measure more than 10 metres high!
