My latest coin design: $200 Gold Canadian Dollar! ๐ (Patreon)
Content
As some of you know, my โday jobโ includes designing Canadian money ๐ I am super excited to share the latest coin design I created for The Royal Canadian Mint : $200 Gold Canadian Dollar! ๐ The Royal Canadian Crown is making its first appearance on the reverse, alongside St.Edwards Crown worn by His Majesty King Charles III as he was coronated last year.
This will be available on the Royal Canadian Mint website and numismatic collections worldwide. I think it retails for $5,000 so I canโt even afford one ๐ but just wanted to give you a glimpse of some of the other work I do when I am not watercoloring. These projects typically take months and I create multiple layouts, with only one making it to the final engraving - lots of sketching and valuable practice when it comes to composition building. I try to carry all my learnings over to my watercolor compositions and share them with you here ๐
Let me know if you are interested in seeing some of my behind the scenes sketches for this type of work.
Honoured to be a part of this project! ๐Now back to watercolor ๐ have a wonderful day everyone!
