2018 Canada Geometric Fauna Orcas 1oz Silver Coin NGC PF 70 UCAM

The third and final coin in the Geometric Fauna series travels to Canada’s West Coast to witness an orca bursting through the barrier that separates our worlds, and ultimately breaking free of its geometric form.

• Obverse: The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.
• Reverse: Combines two different art styles to capture the majestic beauty and strength of a cultural icon. On Canada’s Pacific Coast, the fjord-like coastline basks in the golden glow of sunlight, which spills into the ocean and illuminates the upper depths. The scene is split between our world and the orca’s underwater realm, where two pod members are rendered in a low poly art style; in spite of their geometric nature, the precision-engraved polygons are each carefully positioned to re-create the orca’s rounded silhouette as it easily moves through the water. A burst of movement comes from the foremost orca, which suddenly rises up above the ocean’s surface; this action simultaneously shatters the watery divide and the geometric barrier, as the breaching orca’s appearance smoothly transitions from abstract to realism above the water.
