Campbell River artist Glen Green designs first coin in Royal Canadian Mint's "This Is Canada" series, featuring killer whales.
Campbell River artist Glen Green has designed the first coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's new sterling silver "This Is Canada" series, featuring a pod of killer whales in the Pacific Ocean. This coin marks the start of a four-part exploration of Canada's coastal waters, with future coins representing the Arctic Coast, Atlantic Coast, and the Great Lakes. All coins are 99.9% silver, have a face value of $20, and are priced at $104.95. Green's design was selected after competing against other artists from the regions depicted in the series, and he has been creating artwork for the mint since 2007.
