| Aanvullende informatie |
The Green Man is a pre-Christian foliate figure whose origins predate any single culture — versions appear carved in the stonework of medieval European cathedrals, Roman temples, and Hindu shrines with no clear common ancestor. The Royal Canadian Mint's "Grotesque" designation here is deliberate and art-historically specific, referencing the grotesque tradition of Renaissance decorative carving where foliage erupts from human faces in ways meant to unsettle rather than ornament. The .9999 fine silver specification — purer than sterling by a notable margin — was the RCM's house standard for premium collector issues by this period.
