Description
One of the most awe inspiring weather phenomenon is the show of colour of a radiant rainbow. This 2016 $20 coin is struck in just over an ounce of pure silver, and recreates the multicoloured hues of a rainbow. Mintage is limited to 8,000 coins, adding collectability to the artistic design. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
Through the innovative use of diffused technology and vivid paint, this coin presents a snapshot of a beautiful rainbow on a stormy day. The design features rolling hills in the background, a farmhouse and barn sit atop a slope where a road leads to two round bales in the foreground. The rainbow descends from the dark storm clouds above in radiant colours. A faint glow appears above the rainbow, as the rain tapers off. The appearance of blue sky can be seen in the break between the clouds behind the rainbow. The addition of innovative colour technology and various finishing techniques allows the vivid hues of the rainbow to come through.
