Description
United We Play!
Inspired by the Games logo, curved pictograms emphasize the theme of inclusion through sport;to the left, a ball is used to represent the sun rising in the sky over the Games. Traditionally considered the lifeblood of the earth, theelement of water as a sustaining force for athletes and its fluidity are symbolized in the curved lines that represent the rivers, lakes and oceans of the Pan Americas. While skilful engraving adds beautiful detail to the richly layered design, the groundbreaking use of mokume gane* draws the eye to the maple leaf insert. In keeping with the Games theme of coming together, the effect is first created by thefusion of different metal alloys to create one base material, which is then carved, forged and shaped. This creates the intricate pattern symbolizing the blood, sweat and tears of each athlete’s journey to TORONTO 2015, while the one-of-a-kind nature of each coin’s motif reinforces the Games’ overall celebration of diversity. Along the image field, the motto United We Play! is engraved in the threeofficial languages of the TORONTO 2015 Games: English, French and Spanish.
*Mokume Gane is an intricate, labour-intensive processthat requires a high level of craftsmanship and metallurgical expertise. To achieve this effect, different metal alloys are layered and fused together to produce a mixed-metal composite; skillful manipulation then creates the distinctive patterns for which mokume gane is renowned.
