2012 CANADA $20 Fine Silver CoinFarewell to the Penny
|
This latest $20 for $20 pays homage to
the Canadian one-cent coin. The iconic maple leaf twig design created by
G.E. Kruger-Gray that has appeared on all one-cent coins since 1937
(with the exception of a special Centennial one-cent coin released in
1967) takes centre stage on our $20 for $20, but with the added twist of
a watery setting.
Artist Jesse Koreck explains his inspiration:
'The sign of leaves gently landing on the water reveals the end of a
season and the beginning of something new. The one-cent coin and its
iconic design that has so long been a familiar symbol to Canadians, is
being retired, but not forgotten. We've collected them in our piggy
banks when we were young, saved them for a rainy day, and exchanged and
shared them between each other throughout our lives.'
