About the Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Ken Ryan, your coin uses selective colour over detailed engraving in this detailed rendition of a police officer in action. Engraved in the background is an iconic police car parked on the side of a paved roadway, at the edge of an open space where a few trees dot the rolling landscape. Selective colour brings to life the dark blue uniform of the police officer in the foreground, along with the red striping on the pants and the band around the peaked police cap. Responding to a crime in progress, the officer sprints into action with right handstretched towards the equipment belt that is within easy reach, while the left hand brings a whistle to the officer’s lips.
