DESIGN
The reverse design by Canadian artist Tony Bianco evokes the curiosity that fills both parties during a playful, inter-species encounter. A grey squirrel clings to an oak tree upside down to scrutinize the activity below. To the left and right of the squirrel, five embellishments showcase the oak’s distinctive leaves and bring the textural quality of wood to the scene.

NOTE: COIN IS TONED BECAUSE OF THE OAK WOOD INLAY OF THE COIN
