Two new Mythical Creatures illustrations on coins from the Royal Canadian Mint.

Earlier this summer the Royal Canadian Mint released a collector coin featuring my illustration of the Memphré, a mythical creature said to inhabit Lake Memphremagog (on the border of Quebec and Vermont). Click here to see the coin at the Mint’s website.
