Golden Reflections refers to the coin's full gold plating (as designated by the [P] mark under the Queen's effigy on the obverse) and the design's use of reflections on water. It uses conventional minting technology to reproduce a captivating work of art. Featuring the mastery of Canadian wildlife artist W. Allan Hancock, this fully gold-plated pure silver coin is a work of art. The dynamic composition is rich in depth and contrast. A massive orca occupies the foreground as it cuts through the beautifully rendered waves. Striking as it is, the orca is a vicious hunter, and its hunger is a force to be reckoned with. Upon the rocks behind sit his prey, three sea lions. The background fades into a forest, and the gazing sea lions remain unaware of the danger lurking beneath the water. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
