With every tilt, the lenticular image shifts between day and snowy night, each angle revealing a moment of cheer, as these four friends make the most of a winter day.

The colourful trees form a fantastical backdrop to the playful antics of four animal friends inspired by Canada’s circulation coins. The loon looks on as the beaver and polar bear skate across the frozen pond, and the caribou wobbles on skis. When the coin is tilted, the friends are still making the most of this winter day, undaunted by the snow and cold as evening sets in; the caribou and loon, who have each taken a tumble, smile at the sight of the beaver sliding on its tail while being pulled by the polar bear, who calmly skates along.
