2014 Canada $20 Interconnections: Air - The Thunderbird (No Tax)
Canada's three natural realms of land, sky, and sea mingle in a landscape of unmatched grandeur. Similarly, its people-First Nations and modern inhabitants alike-though culturally distinct-overlap within this landscape in a unique experience of shared history and nationhood. The Royal Canadian Mint proudly presents a new series of 1-ounce silver hologram coins that celebrate this interconnectedness through the stunning artwork of West Coast artist Andy Everson.
The reverse image by Canadian artist Andy Everson presents the theme of 'Air.' Its central motif is a thunderbird, stylized in the tradition of Everson's K'omoks and Kwakwaka'wakw ancestors. This image is framed by a circle of eight rays, representing the sunrays of daylight. Between the rays are eight stylized stars. The entire reverse is a full-colour hologram, lending movement and light to this highly symbolic image.
