Comment

This extraordinarily beautiful piece in fine silver with a hologram background pays tribute to Aboriginal art from the West Coast of Canada, and to the spiritual and cultural importance of salmon to Aboriginal people.

Aboriginal art and modern technology combine here to create a piece like no other.

Special features
- The hologram on the reverse creates a shimmering background that mimics the reflection of sunlight on water, recreating the salmon's natural habitat.
- This piece is reminiscent of the Two Loon fine silver coin. As it is not part of any series, it offers incomparable value.
- You'll appreciate the application of color that enhances the artistic quality of the circular motif, composed of four salmon, each separated by a cluster of eggs.
- Native art and modern technology combine here: the four reverse-painted salmon stand out beautifully against a background of colored holograms.

Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case adorned with the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a black protective box. Automatically translated

Cette pièce en argent fin sur fond d’hologramme d’une extraordinaire beauté rend hommage à l’art autochtone de la côte ouest-canadienne et à l’importance spirituelle et culturelle que revêt le saumon pour les Autochtones.

L’art autochtone et la technologie moderne se combinent ici pour donner naissance à une pièce sans pareille.

Caractéristiques particulières
• L’hologramme, au revers, crée un fond chatoyant qui imite les reflets de la lumière du soleil sur l’eau et recrée ainsi l’habitat naturel du saumon.
• Cette pièce rappelle la pièce en argent fin Deux huards. Comme elle ne fait partie d’aucune série, elle offre une valeur incomparable.
• Vous apprécierez l’application de couleur qui rehausse la qualité artistique du motif circulaire, composé de quatre saumons, chacun séparé par un amas d’œufs.
• L’art autochtone et la technologie moderne se combinent ici : les quatre saumons peints au revers se détachent admirablement sur fond d’hologramme coloré.

Emballage
La pièce est encapsulée et présentée dans un boîtier à double coque bordeaux orné du logo de la Monnaie royale canadienne. Le boîtier est assorti d’une boîte protectrice noire.
