Reverse descriptionYour prototype coin’s reverse features a groundbreaking shadow box concept that separates Neil Hamelin’s 2019 Birds in the Backyard design into four distinct layers of art. The bottom layer features the engraved leaves and branches of a catalpa (Catalpa speciosa) tree. The two middle layers feature three birds on the upper layer, a nest box and branches on the lower one—are superimposed to create a floating image effect. The top layer consists of a blue jay and leaves that frame your view of this multidimensional scene.
