A detailed coin graphic showing a boat on blue waves, two satellites, and the Canadian flag, with text 'CANADA'S DARK VESSEL DETECTION'.

Coin Graphic Description Color Palette: Use layered blue gradients for the background and water, ranging from deep navy at the edges to lighter blue at the center, echoing the ocean and sky. Central Imagery: Place a fishing boat in the foreground, slightly off-center, designed with clean lines and subtle metallic highlights. The boat emerges from a swirl of water—the swirl can be stylized with concentric, flowing blue curves and white accents for foam, giving a sense of movement and energy. Satellite & Signal: Above the boat, depict a satellite (such as RADARSAT-2) with solar panels and a small antenna, rendered in silver or light blue. Show signal graphics: curved, dotted or wavy lines in a lighter blue or silver, arcing from the satellite down to the boat, visually connecting them. Text & Flag: Curve the inscription Canada’s Dark Vessel Detection along the top rim in a modern, sans-serif font. Integrate a small, clear Canadian flag at the top center, either as a flat waving banner or as a badge. Additional Touches: Consider adding faint grid lines or digital overlays in the background to evoke high-tech surveillance. Use a matte finish for the water and a polished finish for the boat and satellite to create contrast, similar to techniques used in recent Royal Canadian Mint coins. See more
