A Stunning, Original Work of Art!
Based on a photograph by Canadian photographer Dale Wilson, this enchanting design offers a sea-level view of the rocky shoreline at Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia. The sun’s first rays appear in the horizon to the east, over the calm waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The sun's return adds a warming glow to the winter sky - the faint daylight illuminates the wave-battered rocks that line the inlet. The iconic Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse is seen rising up toward the sky, a familiar landmark since its construction in 1915 (on the site of the previous 1868 lighthouse), one of the world’s most photographed lighthouses. The application of vibrant color over engraving recreates the life-like qualities of the original photograph, including the golden hues of the sunrise. The obverse also features the engraved word “CANADA” and the dates “1867-2017” to commemorate Canada's 150th anniversary of Confederation.
