As digital artists seek to recreate the physical world through dimensional images, modelling techniques based on geometric shapes have given way to a new visual style: low poly art. This eye-catching five-coin series utilizes this art style to present a contemporary and highly artistic interpretation of Canada’s most famous icons, including one of its most beloved bird species: the common loon (Gavia immer). The reverse design by Canadian artist Calder Moore features a stylized portrait of two common loons in a pristine, natural setting that speaks of the majesty of Canada’s wilderness! Geometry, technology and art intersect as the entirety of the image is presented in a low poly art style, bringing together multiple polygon shapes in this depiction of an adult loon and its offspring. Each polygon is made distinct from the other through extraordinary sculpting, cutting-edge technology and advanced finishing techniques, while the application of bold colour adds vibrancy and alters our perception of dimension and light. The careful selection of each colour gives the cloudless summer sky its dazzling cerulean tone, making it the perfect backdrop for the towering white and grey peaks of the Rocky Mountains-all beautifully recreated using the hard lines and edges that are characteristic of low poly art. In the foreground, the adult loon is a picture of grace and elegance as it calmly floats on the surface of a blue lake, surrounded by the tranquility of an evergreen forest that is rich with detail and colour. Underwater, the young loon demonstrates the species’ remarkable diving abilities as it uses its webbed feet to propel it forward like a torpedo, its beak quickly closing in on the small fish that will provide it with a well-earned aquatic feast. A fresh, modern take on Canada’s timeless icons: The first coin in the inventive new five coin Geometry in Art series, which reinterprets familiar Canadian emblems-the polar bear, the beaver, the caribou, the loon and the maple leaf-in a low poly art style. Crafted in 99.99% pure silver with a low mintage set to only 7,500 worldwide. Cutting-edge techniques for a dimensional design: Exceptional engraving, relief and the application of different finishing techniques add distinctiveness to the polygon shapes that form the stylized image, resulting in a stunning composition that showcases the Royal Canadian Mint’s exceptional level of craftsmanship and innovative artistic vision! An unforgettable addition to any collection-especially those with a wildlife, nature or Canadiana theme, or any that include the beloved symbols that have come to represent this land and its people.

Not so on the Zentangle®-inspired reverse, where the owls feathered features and all-knowing gaze provide the framework for a highly artistic wildlife portrait that is anything but traditional. DESIGN Inspired by a popular creative process known as Zentangle®, the reverse design by Jori van der Linde presents a stylized, artistic take on the traditional image of a great horned owl. The bird of preys familiar features are unmistakable, especially its piercing gaze, hooked beak and the shape of its ear-like tufts; but its layered plumage is transformed by an elaborate mix of repetitive abstract patterns that are each more intricate than the next. Every pattern is painstakingly brought to life by a complex mix of precision engraving and sophisticated frosting, with varying thickness of lines, shaded elements, and relief that add a sense of layered depth and contrast to the overall arrangement. The reverse also features the engraved face value 30 DOLLARS, the year 2018 and the word CANADA. The obverse replicates one of the patterns seen on the reverse, and features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt SPECIAL FEATURES – BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: Our first Zentangle® Art wolf coin left collectors eager for more! Another iconic Canadian species, the great horned owl, is transformed by an elaborate design style based on the structured patterns of the Zentangle® method. A CELEBRATION OF ART, NATURE AND FOLKLORE: Layers of repetitive abstract patterns come together beautifully to re-create the wise owls feathered features and fittingly, in a style reminiscent of classic storybook illustrations.

Repeat viewings will bring new appreciation for the incomparable artistry and craftsmanship! – EXPERT CRAFTSMANSHIP: Every intricately engraved pattern has a beauty of its own. Multiple finishes help set them apart, along with thicker lines and shaded elements that add a sense of layered depth and contrast to the overall design.
