Royal Canadian Mint - The emblematic home of the
Royal Canadian Mint has a commanding presence in your coin's design by Steve McPhee. Highly detailed engraving adds texture from behind the colour overlay, mimicking the appearance of the heritage building's sandstone-clad walls, recessed windows, even the coat of arms that preserves history just above the main entrance. Adding to this stately appearance, a filigree gate is affixed to the coin's rim to re-create the fence and gates that line the site's perimeter. The "wrought iron" gates are painted black to resemble their real-life counterparts, which have guarded the entrance to the site since the official opening of the Ottawa branch of
The Royal Mint on January 2, 1908. The reverse includes the engraved word "CANADA" and the commemorative dates "1908-2018". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
