This 2018 $20 fine silver coin features a stunningly beautiful image of the Tree of Life using a combination of engraved art, colour and selective gold plating. The Tree of Life is a powerful symbol found in cultures and spiritual traditions across the world. It represents many things that hold importance for nearly every person, including strength, protection, longevity, renewal, wisdom, bounty, beauty, and redemption. This coin is crafted in one ounce 99.99% fine silver, with intricate engraving, finely detailed colour and brilliant gold plating. Mintage is limited to just 6,500. As a pure silver coin struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, it is HST/GST exempt.
The reverse design by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn offers a beautifully artistic interpretation of a Tree of Life as a representation of the different aspects of our existence. Spreading out beneath the earth, the gold-plated roots anchor the tree and provide a solid foundation for its trunk, which
represents one’s identity and core beliefs. The curled branches that represent growth as an individual strike a golden contrast next to the painted leaves, which represent the fruits of our
labour in life. With all its curved branches and intertwined roots, the complexities of this
engraved design utilize the application of more intricate gold plating than ever seen before.
Just above the earth is the engraved word “CANADA” to the left of the tree, while the face value
“20 DOLLARS” and the year “2018” are engraved on the right side. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
