1 oz Silver Coin 2017 Canada $20 Murrini Glass Proof Under the Sea - Sea Turtle
2017 $20 FINE SILVER COIN UNDER THE SEA: SEA TURTLE
Hidden beneath the waves is an underwater realm
that is home to countless wonders of all shapes, colours and sizes—including
the graceful sea turtle. Canada’s coastal waters play host to three species of
this ancient reptile, whose iconic appearance is beautifully recreated in a
uniquely shaped glass embellishment that adorns this fine silver coin.
DESIGN
The reverse design by Canadian artist Maurice
Gervais peers into the underwater world off Canada’s coast, where colour over
detailed engraving highlights the coral, ferns and rocks that lie beneath the
gentle waves. On the left, a handcrafted embellishment by Canadian glass artist
Loïc Beaumont-Tremblay contains a sea turtle-shaped Mosaic Murini element. The
mosaic-based approach to this glass art technique lends itself well to
recreating the turtle’s distinctive appearance, from its shell to its clawed
feet and tail. Positioned to mimic the turtle’s movements through the water,
the Murini piece is itself enclosed in its own glass “shell” sculpted from
borosilicate glass.
