Design:
The reverse design by
Canadian artist Claudio D'Angelo features a white-tailed buck and doe leaping
over a fallen pine tree. Capturing a
powerful and energetic moment, this scene centers around the two leaping deer. In the foreground, the buck illustrates the
"kick-off" stage of a deer's leaping motion, with forelegs bent under
its torso and back legs fully extended. His
large, powerful neck holds his antlered head aloft and his namesake tail
extends up and behind, its bright underside alerting other deer to danger. Just behind him and slightly to the left side
of the image, a doe illustrates the landing phase of the leap, as her front
legs stretch out ahead of her and her head, neck, and body point downward,
while her rear legs, just visible behind her partner, bend toward her belly. The sense of motion is subtly enhanced by the
composition, in which doe, buck, and fallen tree share a common trajectory. In the background, a tall conifer forest rises
toward the sky. The scene is viewed from
ground level, lending height and drama to the image.
Packaging:
Each coin is
encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clam-shell
with a custom beauty box.
