BIGHORN SHEEP Zentangle Art 2 Oz Silver Coin 30$ Canada 2018

The reverse design by Canadian artist Jori van der Linde presents a stylized, artistic take on the traditional image of a Bighorn Sheep. Inspired by the Zentangle method of drawing, a captivating combination of abstract patterns adds a sense of texture, depth and creative contrast to this creative portrait, as each motif fills the space within the outline of the sheep's distinctive curled horns and woolly features. On top of the reverse, the inscription: "CANADA" – the issuing country. On the bottom, the inscriptions: "30 DOLLARS" – the face value and "2019" – the year of issue. The obverse recreates one of the patterns seen on the reverse (albeit on a larger scale), and features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt and the inscriptions: "ELIZABETH II" – the name of the Queen and "D · G · REGINA" – Dei Gratia Regina.
