Maple Leaf Silhouette: Canada Geese:
Two Canada geese and a maple leaf come together seamlessly in this clever design by Canadian artist Trevor Tennant that takes full advantage of the coin's unique sculpted shape to positiontwo geese within the lobes of the leaf. Every detail of the geese is visible, from the beautiful plumage of their wings to their signature white cheeks. This design is a quintessential Canadian scene of waterfowl feeding in the shallow water at the edge ofa pond or lake. Ripples in the water enhance the leaf's texture while a branch in the background doubles as the leaf's veins.
Heart of Our Nation:
Canadian artist Laurie McGaw has created a fun and uplifting collage of the places and things that make Canada great. Clockwise from the top: hockey sticks and puck, snowflakes, polar bear, inukshuk, Parliament Hill, Canadian flag, maple syrup, lighthouse, lobster traps, toboggan, Canada goose, canoe, beaver, moose, black spruce tree, Beaver plane, salmon, wheat, cowboy boot, mountains. The elements are roughly placed in an east/west/north/south orientation to reflect their location on a Canadian map. Together, they encircle a maple leaf that is the heart of the design—and the heart of this nation. Proudly engraved with "150 YEARS/ANS".
Geometry in Art: The Maple Leaf:
Designed by Canadian artist Calder Moore, your coin features an artistic representation of a Canadianforest in autumn, which provides a natural setting for Canada's most famous emblem: the maple leaf. Geometry, technology and art intersect as the entirety of the image is presented in a low poly art style, with multiple polygon shapes coming together to form the mix of coniferous and deciduous trees on both sides of the river. A rich colour gradient in thebackground recreates the fading sunset as it casts a golden glow on the fall foliage, while the use of rich colour variants throughout the landscape altersour perception of shadow and light. The eye is naturally drawn to the two engraved maple leaves in the foreground, where extraordinary sculpting, cutting-edge technology and advanced finishing techniques showcase the individual polygons within each form. The geometric lines and corners lend themselves beautifully to recreating the maple leaf's stem and serrated edges, as a gentle breeze brings both leaves tumbling onto the water's surface to float abovethe rocky riverbed.
