Features
Contrasting art styles
The collage’s hand-drawn style contrasts with the more realistic rendering of the CN Tower and Toronto skyscrapers in the foreground, adding depth and dimension to the design.
Black light colour reveal
Your coin looks like a regular engraved coin, but there’s a hidden scene—turn on the UV black light flashlight (included with your coin) and hold it above the reverse design to see the CN Tower light up in Canada’s colours!
