Canada: 2018 50 Cents 3D Snowball Fight Lenticular Coin

Canada: 2018 50 Cents 3D Snowball Fight Lenticular Coin

Design: Canadian artist Tony Bianco created a fun-filled design of four playful children poised to launch snowballs from behind a snow fort. A young dog stands in the foreground, alert with its gazed fixed on the viewer who is the intended target. The children are clad in primary colours that enhance the youthful energy of the design, and the red shovel that was used to make the blocks of hard-packed snow stands to the right. Tilt the lenticular design, and the children’s arms are suddenly outstretched, their faces filled with joy as a volley of snowballs flies towards the viewer and the dog darts out from behind the fort.
