Comment
Our second triangular piece gets a hologram!Here's a piece that won't leave any of us unmoved. Connoisseurs will quickly recognize its plectrum shape, ideal for representing the six-string Nation guitar.
The work of diffuser Jowi Taylor, this one-of-a-kind instrument incorporates materials from every corner of Canada: wood, stone, bone and metal. To hold it in your hands is to embrace the country's history, cultures and anecdotes all at once, a fascinating experience that countless musicians and spectators have enjoyed since the guitar was unveiled on Parliament Hill during the July 1, 2006 festivities.
Features: Original in shape and theme, this piece promises to be as popular as its irregular-shaped predecessors, which sold out in no time. With the distinction of a specimen finish, the motif evokes the beauty of a handmade guitar whose six strings "vibrate" through the magic of selective holography.
Interesting fact
The Six String Nation Guitar coin is unique in that it features a guitar that was built using wood from various Canadian historical sites and landmarks, such as the Golden Gate Bridge and the CN Tower.
