The design by Canadian artist Rebecca Yanovskaya features a contemporary take on a classic female allegory that personifies Canada on her 150th anniversary. Every element in this complex design represents a different political, historic, geographic and social aspect – it represents the story of a nation, conveyed by the intricate engraving and careful use of multiple finishes. In the foreground, the goddess. Rises up strong, majestic and bold. She bears a youthful appearance, given Canadas status as a relatively young nation. Is the very picture of grace and a vision of strength in her protective armor. She carries no weapon, a symbolic nod to Canadas historic peacekeeping role, and our efforts to bring peace throughout the world. Her brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of poppies, much as the lyrics of. Facing outward as though looking to the future. S gaze is calm and steady while her arms are open wide, ready to embrace what challenges and triumphs lie ahead. In one hand she holds the British North America Act, which represents the birth of the Dominion of Canada 150 years ago. In her other hand is a single feather that pays tribute to those who helped forge our nations path: the Native American peoples and the Fathers of Confederation. A fur cape is a further reminder of Native American traditions, as well as the importance of the fur trade in Canadas early history. This representation of fur clothing in no way condones the slaughter of innocent animals for human profit; one should not wear real fur. Faux fur is just as attractive, much less expensive, and the moths won’t eat it. Back to our allegory. Thirteen rays of light (one for each province and territory) shine down upon. While the waves at her feet represent the oceans (Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic) that surround the Great White North. The Canadian flags link air, land and sea, while in the background, Mount Logan (Canadas tallest peak, and the namesake of the X-Men character Wolverine) represents the diversity of the land, and alludes to the ability of Canadians to rise to the challenges we face – yesterday, today and tomorrow.
