Canada: 2017 $20 From Sea To Sea To Sea: Atlantic Starfish Silver Coin

Finish: Proof

Weight: 31.39

Mintage: 7500

Design: Designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco, your coin is a unique glimpse of Atlantic Canada's coastal waters. Beneath the engraved word "CANADA" stands a lighthouse on the rocky shoreline, where the sentinel was often the first sign of land to many travelling by sea. The crashing wave infuses the reverse with a sense of sweeping motion while transitioning to the underwater realm, where an outstanding amount of engraved details recreate an ocean floor littered with shells and dotted with coral. The use of selective gold plating draws the eye to the two starfish, while providing an enhanced view of their defining characteristics. Against the silver background, the gold plating truly shines as it highlights the rough and spiny appearance of the five-armed ocean-dwellers, and adds a life-like sense of texture and dimension to this idyllic aquatic setting.

Packaging: The coins are encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian maroon clamshell case. It is protected by a black beauty box.
