As some of you know, my โ€œday jobโ€ includes designing Canadian money ๐Ÿ˜Š I am super excited to share the latest coin design I created for The Royal Canadian Mint : $200 Gold Canadian Dollar! ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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 canโ€™t even afford one ๐Ÿ˜• 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 ๐Ÿ˜Š

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! ๐ŸŒŸNow back to watercolor ๐Ÿ’œ have a wonderful day everyone!

Lovely. Yes, please share your designs. You are a master at composition.

Anna Bucciarelli

I do a lot of coins with flowers too but also specialize in monarchy series as it involves decorative organic motifs I've always specialized in. There is another one coming up with a colorful flower soon! :)

Anna Bucciarelli

You can, but these are meant as gift / collectable items, usually small mintage. I also do more widely circulated coins, but these limited editions are always fun to make!

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you so much Sammie! I have to pinch myself every time I do a project for the Mint:)

Starr Loy

It's lovely, and very King Charles.

Sammie Bryant

Sylvia S. Costantino

You are an amazing artist Anna. So glad to be a member again! I had joined before but got very little time to paint due to work. I just rejoined and Iโ€™m making it a priority to learn with you now more consistently. Thank you. I

Anna Bucciarelli

Welcome back Sylvia! I hope you enjoy the recent additions to the tutorial library:) Thank you for your support!

Maria Overlay

Beautiful and amazing achievement! Congratulations! I'd love to see your behind the scenes process! Also, your classes have been helping me tremendously with re learning watercolors! I haven't painted with them in about 5 or 6 years. (Currently acrylics and oils). I came to a huge creative block and decided to try watercolors again and I'm falling in love with them all over! Thank you again for sharing your amazing talent and knowledge! Truly grateful!

Jan Dupont

I just rejoined, and this is the first time Iโ€™ve seen one of your coins. Absolutely stunning.

cindy

Is this the first of our coins with Charles on it??

Lauren Dreyer

Why are you calling it a $200 gold coin if it sells for $5000?

Anna Bucciarelli

It's a collectable limited edition coin - the nominal value is $200.
