2014 Canada $20 Celebrating Emily Carr Fine Silver (TAX Exempt)
Emily Carr was a pioneering Canadian artist whose work has become famous around the world for its iconic depictions of the landscape and peoples of the West Coast. This masterfully engraved 1-ounce pure silver coin features on its reverse a striking detail from one of Carr's iconic totem-themed works: Totem Forest.
The reverse image is a finely engraved detail from Emily Carr's 1930 oil painting, Totem Forest. The image features a highly detailed row of massive, intricately carved Northwest Coast totem poles. Behind the poles, which dominate the central portion of the detail, a mountain rises in sweeping brushstrokes to a darkening sky.
