Coins for The Canadian Mint:
This is a 99.99% pure gold coin produced by the Canadian Mint that features my design and artwork. On the coin you can see an Algonquin hunter returning to his winter camp with a rabbit and an otter. I am very pleased with the final version of the coin and it is an honour to have my artwork on a piece of Canadian history. It was released in January 2018 and has since sold out.

This is the second gold coin that I have worked on for the Royal Canadian Mint. It was released this past January and, like my first coin, is made of 99.99% pure gold. On the coin you can see a Mi’kmaq trading party paddling to meet a Portuguese ship caught in a summer storm off the coast of present-day Nova Scotia. Coin image © 2019 Royal Canadian Mint.

I was thrilled to be a part of honouring the D-Day veterans and to be chosen to do the artwork for a coin that celebrates the 75th anniversary of the landings at Juno Beach. If you want to learn more about the coin and my process of creating the artwork, check out the radio interview I did with CBC as well as the print interviews with CBC and The Record. Keep an eye out for the green and red coloured version as well. Coin image © 2019 Royal Canadian Mint. All rights reserved.
