DESIGN
Despite the coin’s small size, this side-profile portrait of a pika, as designed by Canadian artist Derek C. Wicks, captures the mammal’s soft features and expression in exquisite detail. Inquisitively peering up to the right, the pika is poised with its front paws leaning against a loose pile of rocks that line the slopes of the Canadian Rockies. Masterful engraving recreates this timid creature’s prominent, rounded ears as well as the fur that covers its stocky little body and face.
