Description
Canada - 2017 'Sea Turtle Under the Sea" Colorized Proof $20 Silver Coin 1 oz .9999 Fine with RCM Box & COA (1836/7500)
You are bidding on a 2017 $20 FINE SILVER COIN UNDER THE SEA: SEA TURTLE
Hidden beneath the waves is an underwater realm that is home to countless wonders of all shapes, colours and sizes—including the graceful sea turtle. Canada’s coastal waters play host to three species of this ancient reptile, whose iconic appearance is beautifully recreated in a uniquely shaped glass embellishment that adorns this fine silver coin.
DESIGN
The reverse design by Canadian artist Maurice Gervais peers into the underwater world off Canada’s coast, where colour over detailed engraving highlights the coral, ferns and rocks that lie beneath the gentle waves. On the left, a handcrafted embellishment by Canadian glass artist Loïc Beaumont-Tremblay contains a sea turtle-shaped Mosaic Murini element. The mosaic-based approach to this glass art technique lends itself well to recreating the turtle’s distinctive appearance, from its shell to its clawed feet and tail. Positioned to mimic the turtle’s movements through the water, the Murini piece is itself enclosed in its own glass “shell” sculpted from borosilicate glass.
