| Reverse description | An elaborate, allover composition by Susan Taylor evoking the 'Look of the Games' visual identity of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Sweeping diagonal bands filled with intricately engraved Pacific Northwest Coast Indigenous art motifs — including stylized ovoid forms, U-shapes, and flowing formline designs — intersect across the field, interspersed with representational elements such as conifer trees, a canoe, stylized clouds, migratory birds, bamboo, and architectural stone and lattice patterns. The deeply frosted engraving contrasts dramatically with the polished gold ground, creating a richly layered, tapestry-like design that celebrates the cultural and natural heritage of British Columbia. No inscriptions or legends appear on the reverse. |
