chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 08/25/2010 07:55 am Alex Colville is the artist who designed the 1967 Canadian Centennial coinage that really got me interested in coin collecting. He lives about an hour away from me and is neighbours with a friend of mine. It would be nice to meet him someday. Fantastic artist! http://thechronicleherald.ca/ArtsLife/1198434.html Report this Post to the Staff

Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 08/25/2010 4:01 pm Wow. I didn't know he was still living! I thought he was an older artist from group of 7 and passed on. Maybe I'm thinking of another artist? I didn't know Alex Colville had designed the Centenial cent, so thanks for posting about this :) Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 08/25/2010 5:16 pm Yup, he did all the critters that year: dove, rabbit, mackerel, bobcat, wolf, and Canada goose. No, Bobby, that wouldn't be at all creepy Report this Post to the Staff
Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 08/26/2010 08:25 am Interesting timing to find a Centenial cent in a roll on his birthday. Wow, 90 years and still painting and doing his creative thing I'd guess :) The centenial coins are still making it around, just not so often in change anymore. I love the Bobcat best :) Report this Post to the Staff
