Simply stunning, vibrantly colored, and quite possibly the most beautiful coin we’ve seen this entire year! All we can say is, get your pure silver Autumn Falls proof now, before it sells out! Canadian artist Tony Bianco has created a masterpiece – a striking autumn. Scene in a Canadian forest. In the foreground, clusters of golden-orange sugar maple leaves frame the right and left sides of the composition. In the background, a fast-rushing tiered waterfall – engraved directly into the silver – cascades down a sloping grey rock face carpeted in green moss and fallen maple leaves. The waterfall leads to an engraved silver brook rushing over a rock-strewn riverbed. At the top of the rock face, the tall tree trunks of a deciduous forest are lent mystical beauty through engraving that evokes the suns rays falling through a forest still densely canopied in early autumn. The design uses a combination of paint, the silver coin surface, and engraving to create a homogeneous and painterly image. This eye-catching, one troy ounce pure silver. Coin showcases the beauty of Canadian autumn. Rendered with world-class artistry and skillful melding of design, color and engraving. With a graceful pageantry that has long captured the imagination of poets and artists, the brilliant foliage of autumn in Canada has made the nation a fall destination for visitors from around the world. As the final harvest nears an end, flushed from coast to coast with showy russets, warm coppers, intense purples, vibrant golds and glossy greens, Canadas beauty in autumn is perhaps surpassed only when this riot of color is doubled in the silver mirror of a still lake. The season itself results from the annual shifting of the planets northern pole away from the sun. This shift attenuates the intensity of the suns rays in Canada and other northern countries, resulting in the reduced daylight and colder weather that triggers processes such as the changing of the leaves. The colors we see lining the shore as we quietly paddle a canoe. Across a crystalline lake result from chemical processes in the leaves, with different chemicals producing distinct colors. Reduced daylight hours, deciduous species like aspen, maple. Larch, oak, beech, poplar and birch begin to shut down photosynthesis for the oncoming winter, when the tree will live instead on stored food reserves. As a tree stops producing chlorophyll the biomolecule that gives leaves their green colorother tones reveal themselves. Species, this reduction of photosynthesis produces anthocyanin pigments that turn leaves bright red and purple. Brown leaves, such as those on beech and oak trees, result from waste products like tannins. Yellow poplar leaves reveal the presence of xanthophyll and orange maple leaves contain carotenepigments that are present in the leaf throughout the growing season, but are normally concealed by chlorophyll. These chemical processes not only help to prepare and preserve the trees for the long, cold winter to come, but create an amazing blaze of color that draws visitors from around the world. In a season when colder weather and less daylight drives Canadians to warmer indoor pursuits, the glory of autumn pulls us back outside to celebrate a landscape that is diverse and lavishly beautiful in every season.
