2017 Canadian $20 Landscape Illusion: Pronghorn - 1 oz Fine Silver Coin

2017 Canadian $20 Landscape Illusion: Pronghorn - 1 oz Fine Silver Coin

At first glance, this beautiful coloured coin features a wheat field viewed from deep within the grass, a red barn in the distance. On closer examination, a pronghorn emerges from the scene. It is hidden among the stalks of wheat that tower overhead, shaped by the heads of wheat, the leaves and stems, and the manner in which these elements overlap—pure mastery of illusion!

A must-have addition to your nature or animal coin display!

Design

Designed by Canadian artist Julius T. Csotonyi, your coin features a wheat field beautifully crafted in colour. The viewpoint is from deep within the grass, looking towards a red barn in the distance. Stalks of wheat tower overhead, but on closer examination, a pronghorn emerges from the scene, shaped by the heads of wheat, the leaves and stems, and the manner in which these elements overlap.
