Canada: 2027 $50 Heraldic Homage UHR Pure Silver Coin

Design: Backed by an engraved wood grain pattern, the reverse design by Canadian artist Cathy Bursey-Sabourin features an interpretation of the Arms of Canada, intentionally adapted to take advantage of the added dimensional depth and relief made possible by Ultra High Relief (UHR) and Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR). The lion and unicorn supporters, as well as the floral elements, have been artfully modified to fill the space and guide the viewer’s eye toward the centre, which features the shield, helmet, mantling, crest, and motto annulus (with the Order of Canada motto “DESIDERANTES MELIOREM PATRIAM”, meaning “They desire a better country”). The shield contains the royal arms of the United Kingdom and France, and a sprig of three maple leaves representing all Canadians, while the motto of Canada, “A MARI USQUE AD MARE” (“From sea to sea”), is inscribed on a scroll below. The woodgrain pattern also appears on the obverse, which features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
