I’m so honoured to be working on the Liberation of the Netherlands coin because of the special relationship Canada shares with the Dutch. I grew up in rural Ontario with a high Dutch immigrant population and I remember the harrowing stories my friends would tell me of their grandparents struggling to survive under the Occupation. Those stories stayed with me.

On an artistic level, I was thrilled to get this project because of the technical challenges of sculpting children’s faces. A child’s face is plump and full of expression, and when you add the architecture in the background, this coin has it all. Really, it was a wonderful exercise in sculpting a layered relief despite having a height of only 0.35 mm to achieve this scene.Reverse: Designed by artist Pandora Young, the reverse features a child’s eye view of the Liberation of the Netherlands in the spring of 1945.
