Canada 100 Dollars 14-Karat Gold Coin 2016 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
The red and yellow S-shield on Superman's blue costume is unmistakable as the MAN OF STEEL stands in the light and strikes a pose that conveys his incredible strength. The DARK KNIGHT is easily recognizable despite having his back turned. The dichotomy between these two characters is symbolically conveyed throughout the design—from the careful play of light and shadows that define their identities, to their positioning so that they face the opposite way from one another.
Their different styles and points-of-view may bring them at odds with one another despite their common purpose, but there are also many similarities between them that make BATMAN and SUPERMAN "two sides of the same coin," as represented in your coin's design.
Sure to be treasured by fans and collectors alike!
Obverse: Susanna Blunt’s design of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Reverse: This coin brings together vibrant colour and beautifully detailed engraving in this depiction of SUPERMAN and BATMAN standing back to back. The red and yellow S-shield on Superman's blue costume is unmistakable as the MAN OF STEEL stands in the light and strikes a pose that conveys his incredible strength. Adding a sense of movement and energy to the design, his red cape billows softly around him and strikes a colourful contrast against the dark, shadowy figure of BATMAN. Thanks to the pointed ears of his cowl, the DARK KNIGHT is easily recognizable despite having his back turned to the viewer. The dichotomy between these two characters is symbolically conveyed throughout the design—from the careful play of light and shadows that define their identities, to their positioning so that they face the opposite way from one another. In the background, their side profiles are rendered as frosted silhouettes that continue this theme; and yet, these two SUPER HEROES share many similarities and in some sense, are "two sides of the same coin." Behind them, polygon shapes are carefully positioned and contrasted through the use of frosted finishes, so as to create a stunning "shattered glass" effect; this visual element is highly symbolic, for it represents the "shattering" of what was established in Man of Steel and the challenges that lie ahead after SUPERMAN has revealed himself to the world.
