Design:
Canadian artist Calder Moore has created a full-sized kaleidoscope design for the coin's extra-large surface. Countless loons in myriad sizes come together in a complex pattern of amazing beauty,some face-to-face to create the outer ring of the design, while smaller birds stand rear-to-rear and upside-down to form the smaller rings towards the centre. The design is meticulously crafted with astounding detail, and beautifully enhanced with translucent colour to capture the reflective essence of a kaleidoscope. The colours are inspired by the loon's feathers, its red eyes, and the fiery colours of a sunset that set the stage for its hallmark call.
Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
