Micro engraved detail showcases Canada’s beloved symbol, the maple leaf, in a remarkable design that captures a tranquil moment in a scene that can be appreciated from coast to coast. The micro engraved leaf and laser frosted text are reflected in the water, marking the first time that a design has combined traditional and micro engraving with the addition of laser frosting techniques in such a unique and innovative way. The stunning image is designed by Canadian artist Lilyane Coulombe. The soft rippling of the water’s surface adds remarkable movement and dimension to the design. A timeless gift for art appreciators and nature lovers, as well as those who find inspiration in the natural world. A unique way to celebrate Canada as its maple leaf flag celebrates its 50th anniversary.
DESIGN:
The reverse design by Canadian artist Lilyane Coulombe features a natural scene with timeless appeal: here, a single maple leaf has fluttered down from a branch above onto the still waters below it. Canada’s beloved symbol is showcased in stunning detail thanks to finely detailed engraving that recreates the veins which run along its lobes. Gently piercing the water’s mirror-like surface, the tip of the leaf’s lobe has set off a wave of soft ripples; and yet the leaf’s micro-engraved reflection remains, bouncing with the water’s movement in a serene moment that would be all too brief–had it not been forever suspended in time with this coin.
