The shadow box is a timeless artform, one that draws you in by layering shapes to create a beautiful and familiar scene — like the one featured on the 2022 From The R&D Lab coin from the Royal Canadian Mint. Building on the multilayered concept introduced in 2019, the latest minting innovation from the Mint’s R&D Lab is a prototype shadow box coin that pushes the boundaries of dimensional engraving even further. The coin’s reverse takes the 2019 Birds in the Backyard design and breaks it down into four distinct layers of art. By spacing out and superimposing these layers, the arrangement forms a richer, more complex scene with unparalleled depth, detail and realism, and it was all made possible by the Mint’s dedicated R&D team.
KEY FEATURES
- Multiple viewings are required to fully appreciate all the details. While the layers have been spaced out and superimposed to create a floating image effect, and overlapping portions to obscure some design elements that only reveal themselves when viewed from a different angle.
- One of the Mint’s most popular collector series, From the R&D Lab coins represent an initial test run for never-before-seen technology. These extremely rare coins always sell out quickly, and for 2023, only 252 were minted.
- Each prototype shadow box coin comes packaged in an exclusive R&D Lab wooden box with a special certificate.
ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT
The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. The Royal Canadian Mint is renowned for producing some of the highest quality and purity of gold and silver bullion coins and bars in the world. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
