2016 Canada 1 oz Silver $20 Landscape Illusion: Mountain Goat
This intriguing silver coin from 2016 showcases a clever visual puzzle. At first glance, the reverse design presents a serene alpine vista, complete with towering peaks, a grassy moraine ridge, and scattered spruce trees. Closer inspection reveals a hidden image, as the natural elements of the wilderness come together to form the optical illusion of a mountain goat. This release represents the inaugural design in a five-part series dedicated to landscape illusions. Crafted from one troy ounce of 99.99 percent pure silver, the coin carries a face value of 20 dollars. On the obverse, the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is displayed alongside the year of issue and the denomination. The inscriptions 'ELIZABETH II' and 'D G REGINA' are clearly visible on this side, while the reverse side incorporates the word 'CANADA' and the dual-language text representing the theme of this Canadian-backed issue.
