Design:
Artist Calder Moore beautifully conveys the century-old ambience of an antique carousel in your coin's design, where engraved elements typify its fanciful d cor. Imagine the sound of old-time carnival music and the illuminating effect of the carousel's lights that are represented by a row of bulbs that line a scalloped rounding board. Two illustrations of horse riders add a touch of vintage art amid the gold-plated, rococo-style scrollwork, which provides the base for an unusual topper: a miniature carousel. Carefully sculpted in outstanding detail, this silver piece is affixed to the coin's surface in a way that allows for a rotational movement assisted by a magnet (included). As you turn the magnet torotate the carousel, the selectively gold-plated horses mimic the up-and-down motion of their real-lifecounterparts. While the reverse includes the engraved word "CANADA", the face value"50 DOLLARS" and the year "2018", the rim is also gold-plated on both sides, where it frames the mirror-like proof finish. The obverse features the gold-plated effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
