The following is an excerpt from the Canadian Coin News
An engraver from the Royal Canadian Mint will be speaking at the upcoming 53rd annual ONA Convention, set to take place April 17 through 19 at Niagara Falls' Crowne Plaza hotel.

Event chair Lisa McPherson said Matthew Bowen, a Mint engraver from St. Eugene, Ont., will be answering questions and doing signings on Saturday, April 18.

"He's the engraver of the Brock coin, which was struck for the War of 1812 - so it ties in with the Niagara Falls area," said McPherson, adding that organizers will be selling the coloured 25-cent War of 1812 Sir General Isaac Brock circulation coins in two by two coin holders for $1.

Many years ago, I spent about an hour speaking to Stuart Devlin, the designer of the original definitive reverse designs of Australian coins, when Australia adopted decimal currency, way back in 1966. These designs are still currently issued for circulation.

We only briefly talked about coins at the time, but more the faceting of gemstones and jewelry design.
He was later appointed as the official goldsmith the Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11.
