The Design:
This set features three coins whose reverse sides are engraved with details from some of Emily Carr's most noted totem-themed works: a 1-ounce 99.99% fine silver coin featuring a detail from her 1930 oil painting, Totem Forest; a 1-ounce 99.99% pure gold coin featuring a detail from her 1930 watercolour and graphite work, Zunoqua; and a 1-ounce 99.95% pure platinum coin featuring a detail from her 1941-1942 oil painting, A Skidegate Beaver Pole
Emily Carr:
One of the initial Canadian practitioners of modernist and post-impressionist painting style, Carr began her artistic career with a focus on aboriginal imagery and themes; later in her life, after meeting and corresponding with members of the Group of Seven, her focus shifted to landscapes. She did not receive much recognition for her work until this point in her career.
