2nd coin of the Shadow Box Coins series.

Back by popular demand! The balance of nature depends on predator-prey relationships that drive evolution, with each side of that relationship striving to adapt in order to survive. Every organism plays a part in the web of life, and that concept is beautifully illustrated on the Royal Canadian Mint’s second shadow box coin. Filled with lush flora and hidden fauna, the shadow box design is composed of superimposed layers of engraving that gently overlap, each casting shadows on the next and obscuring important story details that are only visible when viewed from a certain angle, ultimately revealing that the hunter may actually be the hunted.

➢ Second shadow box coin. Introduced on the 2022 From the R&D Lab: Birds in Shadow Box coin, new minting technology introduces unparalleled depth by breaking down the scene into engraved top and bottom layers, and two superimposed cut-out layers in the middle, to create a floating image effect.
➢ While the first shadow box coin re-visited a previous coin design, this offering features a brand-new scene that has never been done before.
➢ A design that rewards repeated viewings, each engraved layer features an incredible number of details and storytelling elements that add complexity, and even tension, to a seemingly quiet scene.
➢ The superimposed layers purposely overlap to obscure some details that remain hidden until viewed from a different angle—and it will change how you view this scene.
➢ The top and bottom layers feature an antique finish, while the middle cut-out layers are painted.
➢ The appeal of the rare: Only 750 coins are available to collectors worldwide.
