The Design:
Canadian artist Steve Hepburn has crafted a dynamic design featuring a pair of hikers, enhanced with vibrant colors that invite viewers to explore The Great Trail of Canada. The hikers are depicted walking away from the viewer, heading towards the center of the coin where the logo for the Trans Canada Trail is showcased in full color. The engravings include CANADA on the left, and the face value of $25 along with the year (2017) on the right. Surrounding the design are a series of vignettes illustrating the Trail’s diverse landscapes and popular exploration methods:
- Agricultural lands nestled in foothills
- Cycling along a rural trail
- Canoeing through wetlands, with horseback riding above
- Backpacking across rocky terrain adorned with colorful wildflowers
- Snowmobiling up a hill
- Cross-country skiing across open terrain blanketed in snow-covered evergreens
