Reverse descriptionCoin is an engraved recreation of J.E.H. MacDonald’s famous work, Sumacs (1915). Sumacs was one of several decorative panels that the Group of Seven was commissioned to paint in the Georgian Bay cottage of Toronto opthamologist and art patron, Dr. James MacCallum. Your coin exquisitely illustrates the robust texture of MacDonald’s original work, which used intense pigmentation to evoke the ruddy autumnal haze of sumacs in the fall. The image is framed with a polished band featuring the words “CANADA” and “J.E.H. MacDONALD,” the date “2013” and the face value of “20 DOLLARS.”
