The bighorn sheep is known for its mighty resolve as it conquers rugged terrain at seemingly impossible heights. The crowned head of Canada’s mountain slopes is the image of strength and resilience on the Zentangle®-inspired reverse, where a finely engraved array of patterns form an exceptionally complex and wildly creative portrait of Ovis canadensis.
The bighorn sheep lends its likeness to an artistic re-imagining on the reverse, where an original concept by illustrator Jori van der Linde is brought to life by fine engraving and multiple finishes. 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. The reverse includes the engraved face value “30 DOLLARS”, the year “2019” and the word “CANADA”. The obverse replicates one of the patterns from the reverse and features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
