The Identification of Nickel
The reverse image features Stephen Trenka’s 1951 commemorative nickel design, which was originally engraved by the Mint’s legendary masterengraver, Thomas Shingles. Here, the original 12-sided coin design has been enhanced thanks to multiple finishes and selective gold plating, which bring added depth and definition to the iconic image. With itslong smoke stack rising up in the centre, the nickel refinery is beautifully rendered with finely detailed engraving, as are the three maple leaves below it.
