About
A symbol of majesty and might, the lion makes its Canadian debut on a pure silver coin that is fully gold-plated to give it a golden-hour glow. This extraordinary coin is a rare opportunity to own an engraved rendering of an original painting by Canada’s foremost wildlife artist and naturalist, Robert Bateman. Each coin is accompanied by a special insert that features a printed reproduction of the original painting, along with the artist’s description of his work and his signature. To re-create the realistic art style, we’ve had to combine a multitude of finely etched details with different frostings that alter the way each element shines in the light. The finished product is a collectible piece of art—one that pays tribute to the artist’s legacy and ability to immerse us in a natural world that extends beyond national boundaries.

Design
Stepping into the golden glow of early morning light, the king of the jungle greets the day with a roar in this engraved rendering of Into the Light – Lion, an original acrylic-on-canvas painting by Canadian wildlife artist Robert Bateman.
