2020 - $25 - 1 oz. Pure Silver Extraordinarily High Relief Coin – Multifaceted Animal Head: Lynx

The multifaceted lynx head by Canadian artist Traian Georgescu is the final of a 3-coin series featuring the innovative use of extraordinarily high relief (EHR). EHR goes beyond what high and even ultra-high relief techniques can accomplish and elevates the subject matter to around 6 mm. The striking visual effect of a coin that becomes more of a sculpture than a simple embossing is given an exceptional brilliance with innovative proof finish, making the silver shine like never before. This coin, featuring a multifaceted design built out of 435 polygons that are crafted in proof finish to make them sparkle like a diamond, really is an important advancement in minting.
