Designed by Canadian illustrator Jesse Koreck, your coin features an underwater scene that includes a number of the marine species found in the waters of Canada's West Coast. The image presents the underwater scene as viewed from a deep water reef, looking up toward the turquoise waters of the surface. The brightly coloured marine life includes a large Atolla jellyfish, several yelloweye rockfish, and a high fin dragonfish swimming around soft and hard corals with other vertebrate and invertebrate organisms along the sea floor. The beautiful scene takes on an entirely new life when illuminated with a black light. Under a black light, the rocky background fades to darkness and the bioluminescence of many of the species is revealed, glowing in blues, greens, and pinks on your coin.

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a graphic beauty box. Your coin also ships with a black light flashlight.
