This coin of an extra-large surface was inspired by the kaleidoscope. Countless loons in myriad sizes come together in a complex pattern of amazing beauty, some face-to-face to create the outer ring of the design, while smaller birds stand rear-to-rear and upside-down to form the smaller rings towards the centre. The design is meticulously crafted with astounding detail, and beautifully enhanced with translucent color to capture the reflective essence of a kaleidoscope. The colors are inspired by the loon’s feathers, its red eyes, and the fiery colors of a sunset that set the stage for its hallmark call.
