Comment

Pattern

The motif of the piece, by Canadian artist Elizabeth Sim, evokes the warmth of a summer's day, and the connection we all have with nature. For many Canadians, the scene brings back memories of a stay at the cottage. Occupying the entire surface of the room, which has no borders, the background image gives us the impression of standing at the water's edge, in front of a dock where a kayak is ready for a late-afternoon excursion. Textured color technology sets it off from the background, and the canvas on an easel is positioned to suggest that we are the artist behind this idyllic scene. The painting effect lends even greater realism to the motif, recreating the characteristic texture of a finished work, such as the brushstrokes and fibers of the canvas.

Packaging

The piece is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case adorned with the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case is accompanied by a black protective box.

Motif

Le motif de la pièce, œuvre de l'artiste canadienne Elizabeth Sim, évoque toute la chaleur d'une journée d'été, et le lien que chacun d'entre nous peut entretenir avec la nature. Pour bien des Canadiens, la scène rappelle le souvenir d'un séjour au chalet. Occupant toute la surface de la pièce, qui n'a pas de bordure, l'image en arrière-plan nous donne l'impression d'être debout au bord de l'eau, devant un quai où un kayak est prêt pour une excursion de fin d'après-midi. La technologie de couleur texturée la détachant de l'arrière-plan, la toile posée sur un chevalet est placée de manière à suggérer quenous sommes l'artiste derrière cette scène idyllique. L'effet tableau confère encore plus de réalisme au motif, recréant la texture caractéristique d'une œuvre achevée, comme les coups de pinceau et les fibres de la toile.

Emballage

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

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2017 Canadian $20 Elizabeth II (Paddle Awaits) silver coin is that it features a unique texturized color application, which gives the coin a distinctive and eye-catching appearance. The textured finish was achieved through a special process that involves applying a layer of colored lacquer to the coin's surface, which is then carefully textured to create a lifelike effect. This process adds an extra layer of depth and dimension to the coin's design, making it stand out from other coins in the series.
