Geometric Fauna: 20$ The Polar Bear 2016
The Polar Bear (The Polar Bear) Geometric Coin 2016
This ingenious coin design combines a mass of polygons forming the image of polar bears-a mother and her son. This is the second coin in the 'Geometry in Art' series, which reinterprets Canada's national symbols. The unique engraving, relief and use of various finishing techniques adds distinctiveness to the shapes of each polygon, which create a stylised image and showcase the craftsmanship and beauty of the workmanship.
The technique and art known as "low poly" (polygonal art - the representation of familiar shapes using the simplest possible polygons, touching at the edges) , previously known from video games, was combined with the outstanding drawing and sculpting skills of the project's originators, resulting in a coin that we have never seen before. The rich, vivid colours, associated by many with the aurora borealis, give a sense of depth and a visible battle of light, as well as a sense of three-dimensionality.
The obverse as with every Canadian coin is decorated with an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the coin is minted with a mirror stamp and therefore there are no radial lines in the coin's background.
Rewers the coin was designed by Calder Moor and depicts the "King of the Arctic"-the symbol of Northern Canada-the Polar Bear with her son. The reverse depicts the story of the little bear's first independent moments. The way the coin was made and the 'low poly' technique used are ideal for depicting the icebergs surrounding the bears, making the whole image extremely realistic.
