Canada: 2018 $20 Lucky Four Leaf Clover - 1 oz. Pure Silver Coloured Coin

Canada: 2018 $20 Lucky Four Leaf Clover - 1 oz. Pure Silver Coloured Coin

Design: The reverse design by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan centres on a precision-engraved rendering of a four-leaf clover. This symbol of luck includes a number of details that give it a more life-like appearance, including the fine lines that hint at the darker, herringbone markings within each of the elliptical-shaped leaves. The selective application of paint adds a burst of vibrant colour to the clover, whose "shamrock green" hue would be perfectly in step with St. Patrick's Day celebrations across Canada. A mix of finishes throughout the design places special emphasis on each of the engraved elements, particularly the Celtic knot-inspired element that pays tribute to the rich, cultural heritage of Irish-Canadians. The date "2018" is engraved beneath a banner bearing the word "CANADA". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
