Explore Canada as you've never seen it before with this captivating 

coin that draws you in to discover more than 50 images that are 

Canadian icons in their own right, or reflective of the artist's personal 

Canadian experiences—like time spent under the Yukon's midnight 

sun, as shown within the center of this coin.

These images are reminiscent of comic book illustrations, but that's 

where their similarity to comic books ends. Instead of being linear 

they spiral out from the centre, inviting you to create your own 

adventure as you search for the initials of the province or 

territory you call home.

What else will you find? Canadian fauna and flora; First Nations 

culture and art; historic portraits and images; and various logos. 

Every time you explore this coin, you will see something new.

Features

Your coin is the second in a series of Contemporary Canadian 

Art coins: features an original work by renowned worldwide 

Canadian artist Tim Barnard.

Design

Your coin was designed by renowned Canadian artist Tim 

Barnard and is titled "Canada Through the Eyes of Tim 

Barnard." This astonishing circular design includes more than 

50 distinct images symbolizing elements of Canada both 

broadly iconic and personal to the artist himself. 

At the centre of your coin sits a scene from a rugged Yukon 

riverbank—meaningful to Barnard for time spent there under 

summer's midnight sun. From here, the image circles out in a 

panoply of Canadian illustrations; images from Canadian 

history and portraits of historical figures; scenes from First 

Nations culture, art, and mythology; Canadian flora and fauna; 

people bundled up against winter's chill; and much more. 

This mesmerizing design offers something new for you at each 

glance. Barnard has also cleverly hidden within the design the 

initials of each Canadian province and territory.
