The third coin in our Canadian Mosaics series offers a chance encounter with a tan-coloured cougar on its reverse, where, even in mosaic form, the big cat is the image of agility and strength in the wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSRP: $104.95\u003cbr\u003eItem Number: 166642\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 6-23932-09079-8\u003cbr\u003eComposition: 99.99% pure silver\u003cbr\u003eMintage: 6,000\u003cbr\u003eWeight (g): 31.39\u003cbr\u003eDiameter (mm): 38\u003cbr\u003eFace Value: $20\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Proof\u003cbr\u003eEdge: Serrated\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Jori Van Der Linde\u003cbr\u003ePackaging: Maroon clamshell with black beauty box\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLASSIC CANADIANA, RE-IMAGENED: THIRD coin in a limited series that puts a new spin on traditional wildlife portraits: Canadian icons re-interpreted as mosaic art.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW COLOUR INNOVATION: MOSAIC COLOUR technology mixes engraving and different paint effects to create a colourful mosaic artwork that fits in the palm of your hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePIECED TOGETHER LIKE TILEWORK: Over 130 individually engraved segments form the image of a cougar in a forest setting, complete with etched “grout” lines that give each “tile” a more raised appearance than a traditionally coloured and engraved coin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA RICH VARIETY OF COLOURS: Different paint effects combine to give each segment a varying degree of colourful translucence—from dark, matte colours to glossy hues that partially reveal the shining surface beneath this colour application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDESIGN: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse image by Jori van der Linde features Colour Mosaic technology, a combination of engraving and paint techniques that transform a traditional wildlife portrait into mosaic art. More than 130 individually engraved, differently shaped “tiles” combine for a close view of a cougar (Puma concolor) in a forest clearing, while engraved “grout” lines help capture the look of raised tiles. Different paint effects alter the intensity of each coloured segment, save for the polished surface of the coin that adds a shine to the trunks and branches of the tall trees. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176393343108,"sku":"166642","price":194.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2018_20_Fine_Silver_Coin_-_Canadian_Mosaics_Cougar_REV__95980.1535322665.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759543546","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2018-20-fine-silver-coin-canadian-mosaics-cougar","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
