DESIGN
The reverse design by Canadian artist Stéphanie Gauvin features a selectively painted depiction of the view from Idaho Peak in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. Surrounded by the colourful alpine wildflowers, a hiker stands at the edge of the ridge and contemplates the journey. Selective paint over detailed engraving recreate the breathtaking view overlooking the winding Slocan Lake below, with the Valhalla Mountain Range rising up in the background. The coin’s silver surface recreates the bright glow of the fading mid-summer sun, which bathes the landscape in a warm and colourful glow that transforms the scenery into an artist’s dream.
