Tumbled glass and coloured shapes create amazing patterns inside a kaleidoscope, and this breakthrough new series explores the incredible designs that can be achieved when great Canadian icons become the focus of the kaleidoscope’s reflective magic. A MINT FIRST! Our thinnest silver coin ever—1 oz measuring 60 mm across!
Canadian artist Calder Moore has created a full-sized kaleidoscope design for the coin’s extra-large surface. Countless maple leaves in myriad sizes come together in a complex pattern of amazing beauty. Fiery leaves lead the eye towards the centre while countless more fill the still-green canopy above. It’s a beautiful portrayal of the maple’s annual spectacle as its leaves turn from green to shades of red, orange, yellow and gold. Rendered with translucent colour, it has the added effect of light streaming through the design.
Only 7,500 coins available worldwide—a limited work of art and a unique Canadian keepsake that will be eagerly sought after by collectors; art and nature enthusiasts; and anyone who has ever enjoyed the beautiful artistry of a kaleidoscope.
