Image adorns Royal Canadian Mint’s This is Canada series’ Wondrous Waters theme
The Royal Canadian Mint’s first coin in its new sterling silver This Is Canada series should look very familiar to people in the B.C. coast.
“I basically used the background from this area here,” Green said. “I’ve been in Campbell River for not-quite seven years but we’ve got a cabin on Cortes and I’ve been there since I was 15 years old. So, like, I know the coast.” An artist from each of the regions depicted was chosen but Green explains that you have to compete for the commission by submitting proposed images.Green is familiar with working for the mint, he has done a number of commissions over the years, going back to 2007 when he was first contacted to contribute to a series of coins commemorating the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
