Comment
The circular reverse design by wildlife artist Claude Thivierge features a contrasting “yin and yang” portrait of the sea otter (Enhydra lutris). Two adult sea otters are positioned in a way that represents opposite but complementary concepts, such as work and rest/play. Yellow gold and black rhodium plating clearly divide the design into two halves in order to highlight the importance of achieving balance in life, but also in nature, where the sea otter’s reintroduction to Canada’s Pacific coast has had a big impact on the marine ecosystem. The obverse features the gold-plated effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2022 Canadian Sea Otter Rhodium-Plated Silver Coin is that it features a unique black rhodium and gold plating technique, which creates a striking contrast between the dark, matte finish of the rhodium and the bright, shiny gold accents. This innovative plating process adds an extra layer of depth and visual interest to the coin's design, making it a truly distinctive piece for collectors.
