Sculpting Our Rendition



Down to the cubic micron
Here is a rendering of our creative process work in regards to designing the RCAF Centennial Maple. The final design used differs slightly from this coin most notably, we had to remove the ring of maple leaves because silver kept breaking off due to its close proximity to the coin edge.

We have examined this crest design and 3d model so many times, to ensure absolutely every single aspect is as flawless as possible, so when the time comes to transfer it into a steel die, its flawless nature is carried into the steel die and then into the precious metal we strike. In order to produce a proper sculpt for coining, the level of detail, work, draft angles and more, needs to be addressed and factored into the design to ensure everything not only functions properly, but yields the finest end result as possible.
Our leader and chief designer, Joseph Green, holds a B.FA in 3D visualisation and fine arts painting and has been active in 3D modeling for 19 years and counting. 3D software for sculpting models in Maya, is not only a super complicated software platform to utilise, but is exceptionally powerful for pre-visualisation. Being able to function within a 3D environment, 2D environment, graphical editors and more, is absolutely critical for a successful production pipeline within elite level, precious metal minting. Just because a group may have a coining press, does not mean that group may produce elegant designs which yield immaculate coins.
Beaverworks in ONLY interested in pursuing the absolute highest form of minting precision works. If we can’t produce the absolute highest levels of work possible, we are simply not interested.
