Minted in Canada at the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) Reverse: Design by Canadian artist Curtis Atwater features the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during its upstream journey to spawning grounds in one of the many rivers flowing through the boreal forests of Eastern Canada. In the skilfully engraved background, several migrating salmon can be seen leaping out of the fast-moving waters to ascend the rocky waterfall. The entirety of the design conveys a high sense of energy in this pristine outdoor setting, as water splashes out from these “jumping” fish onto the band that frames the reverse, where the word “CANADA”, the year “2016”, and the face value “20 DOLLARS” are also engraved.
Obverse: Features Susanna Blunt’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II graces obverses (heads side). Inscription read ELIZABETH II, D G REGINA.
