Designed by Coast Salish artist Darlene Gait, the reverse image features original artwork that pays tribute to the salmon – a fish that has long been revered by the First Nations people of Canada’s West Coast. Four salmon fish are positioned in a circular pattern and converge near the centre of the image, with clusters of roe between them – an allusion to the salmon’s cycle of life. Struck into the image field, a full hologram creates a shimmering background that mimics the reflective qualities of a river in the sunlight; this effect is further enhanced by the application of paint to the fish and roe. The image is framed with a polished band upon which is engraved the words “CANADA,” the face value of “10 DOLLARS” and the year “2014.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176156135556,"sku":"130561","price":111.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/Salmon_Reverse__51427.1403647556.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759521952","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2014-10-fine-silver-coin-first-nations-art-salmon","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
