2018 $20 Canadian Mosaics - Caribou Fine Silver (No Tax)

Antlers crown its regal form, making the caribou (Rangifer tarandus) appear like the monarch of the Canadian wilderness on this fine silver coin. The colourful ode to a Canadian icon is a notable first: the first coin in our limited Canadian Mosaics series, and the first to feature an innovative colour technology that gives it the look and feel of a stained glass mosaic.

Special Features:
• Classic Canadiana, re-imagined: this is the first in a three-coin series that puts a new spin on traditional wildlife portraits, with each Canadian icon re-interpreted as mosaic art.
• First-time use of new technology: introducing colour mosaic! The Mint's latest colour innovation is paired with fine engraving in order to mimic the multi-coloured appearance of stained glass mosaic - one that fits in the palm of your hand!
• Outstanding attention to detail: complex engraving divides the larger image into segments that resemble pieces of coloured glass, all the while meticulously re-creating the caribou’s familiar features.
• Like filtered light: to achieve the look of light filtering through coloured glass, each colour on the reverse has a varying degree of translucence - from dark colours to glassy hues.

Packaging:
Maroon clamshell with black beauty box.
