Kwakiutl artist Jason Henry Hunt

“Here in the bay where I live, I watch the Eagles search for various fish and sometimes ducks as well. They’re adept at using the wind and water to their advantage, while also extremely patient. I’ve been fortunate to witness them hunting while Orca travel past at the same time—this is why I’ve shown the Orca’s dorsal fin in the waves of this design, with the Eagle playing in the air above.”

“Bringing The Hunter design to life was both exciting and humbling. We wanted to preserve the unique, vibrant esthetics of the original work, but also challenge the boundaries of craftsmanship by adding relief to the coin’s rim and a wood grain texture to the field; ultimately, the result was a fusion of tradition and innovation.”

“When we strike a coin from a set of dies, the coin fills from the centre towards the edge, with the rim filling last. So, when the profile of the rim changes, we don’t really know how it will fill. I worked closely with the Product Engineer and we used sophisticated tools that increase the probability of success, but until we trial the dies, the entire team is just holding its breath. There is nothing like the feeling of relief when the trial is completed successfully. I just loved The Hunter artwork, this coin was a joy to work on—in fact, I’m going to have to buy one.”

Matt Bowen, Engraver
