“ With every new coin concept , there ’ s so much to be learned and so many fresh creative challenges . The variety and range of coins provide a constant fluidity of creative expression that never ceases to engage and excite me . I also love the community of collectors . It ’ s constantly gratifying to engage with collectors out there who so love the work the Mint produces ."
— Lucas Bowers on his love for designing coins
LUCAS ' PICK
One of Lucas ' favourite design projects , the Chinese Myths and Legends Phoenix 2023 1oz Silver Antiqued Coin , features the auspicious mythical bird symbolising honesty , benevolence and knowledge .
" This was one of those designs that jumped into my head out of nowhere ( I was at a friend ’ s birthday dinner at the time and literally jotted it down on a napkin !) It was released in two variant colour schemes , but I particularly love the way the antique effect captures detail and the fluid , dynamic nature of the lines of the phoenix in flight . I also love how this design captured a sense of immense energy in such a small space ."
