About the Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Maurice Gervais, your coin captures the delicate beauty of a snail in the Canadian landscape. The use of paint over engraving adds a life-like quality to the branch and leaves of a mountain maple (Acer spicatum). With its saw-toothed edges, the leaf looms large in the background, allowing for a size comparison of the coloured Venetian glass element that beautifully recreates the colours and likeness of a snail with its spiral shell. No two glass pieces arealike—each one is unique and handcraftedby master glassmaker Giuliano Donaggio of Murano, Italy which makes each coin a "little" masterpiece in its own right.
Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell witha black beauty box.
