Description
Grotesque Wild Green Man
Engraved in ultra-high relief, the coin features an original depiction by Dominion Sculptor Phil White of a Gothic-style grotesque inspired by a carving found on the East Block of the Parliament Buildings. The image portrays the mythical Wild Green Man. The fierce figure’s foliate hair, brows, moustache, and beard dominate its face along with wide staring eyes and bared teeth. This expressive image seems to emerge from the coin face thanks to detailed engraving in ultrahigh relief.
This coin is the first issue of the Sculptural Art of Parliament collection.
The first coin of the series, released in January 2016, depicts the Grotesque Wild Green Man.
The second coin of the series, released in April 2016, depicts the Grotesque Foliated Green Man.
The third and the last coin of the series, released in July 2016, depicts the Grotesque Horned Green Man.
