Design:

Claude Thivierge's Orcas Silver coin design beautifully marries two artistic approaches to capture the iconic strength and grace of the orca against Canada's Pacific Coast backdrop, bathed in sunlight. The design straddles the orca's aquatic domain and our own, showcasing two orcas in geometric form beneath the water's surface, with their shapes carefully aligned to mimic their natural contours. The leading orca bursts through the water, bridging the abstract and the realistic as it transitions to a lifelike appearance above the sea. The coin features the word “CANADA,” its value “20 DOLLARS,” and the year “2018” around the edge. The obverse displays Susanna Blunt’s effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Did You Know?

  • The orca, steeped in the myths of the Northwest Coast, inhabits all three of Canada’s bordering oceans: the Arctic, North Atlantic, and Pacific.
  • Often called "killer whale," a testament to its formidable hunting skills observed by ancient seafarers.
