READING THE COIN

Animal, landscape and the circular field

The opening design establishes the programme at ecosystem scale: a wolf rises above a conifer line while the moon fixes the scene in northern twilight.

CANADA, purity and bilingual weight legends form a fixed outer ring; William Woodruff's image defines issue 1 inside that shared frame.
