2017 SEA TO SEA TO SEA PACIFIC SALMON - Pure Silver Proof Coin - ONLY 7500

Description

Beautiful Coin - Sea to Sea Pacific Salmon
Designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco, the reverse image travels to the coastal waters of British Columbia to offer a glimpse of marine life in the Pacific Ocean. The engraved word “CANADA” hangs in the air over the breaking swell waves, which add a sense of motion to the design as they sweep over the increasingly shallow water. Transitioning to the underwater realm, an exceptional amount of detail brings the rock-lined sea floor to life; one can easily imagine the soft swaying motion of the plants as each wave moves overtop in quick succession. Nonetheless, the focus of the design remains the two chinook salmon (
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha
) as they feast on small fish; the use of selective gold plating highlights the intricacy of the engraved design, which recreates the textured appearance of the salmon’s scales and fins to provide a more life-like portrait of this iconic species.
