2015 1oz $20 LOONEY TUNES - MERRIE MELODIES FINE SILVER COIN

Bugs. Daffy. Tweety. Sylvester. For many Canadians, the mere mention of these names evoke fond childhood memories of spending Saturday mornings in front of a television, transfixed and spellbound as these characters—and many more—outsmarted each other in situations that could only exist in our imaginations.

DESIGN
The reverse image, provided by Warner Bros, brings together several main characters from the Looney Tunes pantheon in a design that is reminiscent of the end credits. Faithfully rendered in rich detail with expert engraving and enhanced by the addition of vibrant colour, the characters are seen emerging from the circular opening towards the viewer. Bugs Bunny stands in the centre with his arms outstretched in a true entertainer’s pose, while below him sits the Tazmanian Devil, whose tongue hangs out of his mouth as he flashes his goofy grin. Peering over Bugs’ right shoulder is the amorous skunk, Pépé  Le Pew, accompanied by the black cat who is always the object of Pépé’s affections. Appearing over Bugs’ left shoulder is Daffy Duck and Sylvester, both bearing wide smiles. Last but not least is Tweety, whose diminutive size allows him to sit on Bugs’ head as he extends his arms out as well.
