Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Anna Bucciarelli, your coin features a spiralling branch of acanthus leaves and Alberta wild roses. A Dancing Diamond ª is mounted in an open square at the centreof the coin. The swirling vine motif recalls the circular shape of the coin and acts as an excellent ground to showcase the classical acanthus leaves. The Alberta wild roses that dot the vine bring a Canadian element to the natural imagery. The unique patented Dancing Diamond ª mount allows the Canadian-sourced diamond at the coin's centre to stayin motion, so that it continuously twinkles. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt as well as the text "CANADA", the date "2019", and the face value of "20 DOLLARS".
"As I sat in my studio, thinking about how to tackle this design, my mother sat in thenext room, watching my children for me. Suddenly itbecame very clear: I wanted to design the coin thatI would give to her to thank her for all she has done for me. She's my inspiration." Anna Bucciarelli, Artist
This is Anna Bucciarelli's sixth coin for the Mint. Anna brings delicate, expressive detail to her flawlessly beautiful designs. "I wanted thiscoin to really honour motherhood," she explains. "The spiral concept for me conveys the idea of generations of women passing down the artof motherhood." For Anna, the square hole at the centre of this coin also sparked creativity by providing a dynamic contrast to the coin's circular shape: "This contrast between the hard lines of the square and the round edge of the coin is yet another way that the coin symbolically links to motherhood," she explains, "Being a mom means being both soft and strong."
"Everyone loves how diamonds refract light-the Dancing Diamond ª mechanism is a way to ensure this scintillation never stops." Giovanni Vaccaro, President of Beverly Hills Jewellers Mfg. Ltd
Partnering with Beverly Hills Jewellers Mfg. Ltd. Canada offered the perfect opportunity to pack maximum innovation into a single coin. Innovating on jewellery isnot an everyday occurrence-humans have been wearingthe same basic designs for thousands of years-but this organization managed to do so with its patented Dancing Diamond ª mechanism. "We were really excited to help the Mint achieve its own innovation using this enhancement," says Giovanni Vaccaro, President of Beverly Hills JewellersMfg. Ltd. "It was a rewarding project thatrequired us to build a special frame that would allow the diamond to continuously twinkle, even given the limited depth of a coin." Whether held in your hand or worn as a pendant, the glowing diamond will twinkle and dance. "It's powered by the beating of your heart," he says. "A perfect way to reflect the idea of motherly love."
