Canada is a land of amazing
botanical diversity, yet some of the most popular flowers found in
people’s homes and gardens are imports brought here by immigrants from
around the world. With time, these beautiful flowers have been woven
into the fabric of this nation’s identity and into the everyday lives of
its people.
The reverse image by Canadian artist Bert Liverance shows a single tulip
flower selectively coloured so it stands out from a sea of blooms—a
tribute to the welcome sight that graces Canadian gardens from coast to
coast each spring. The design is further enhanced by the coin’s oxidized
niobium core to create a stunning, one-of-a-kind effect.

PHOTOS:
Note that the photos I post in my listings are all from my own inventory. However, for items like this one where the products are brand new from the mint and are identical the photo posted in the listing is a STOCK photo meaning that the photos represent the item you will be getting. Photos are taken in natural light so sometimes there's a slightly WARMER reddish or brownish tone to the photos.....this is just because they're taken in front of a large window in order to represent them to you as honestly as possible. Normally there is almost no difference between the photo you see in the listing and the actual product you are sent. Certificate numbers (if shown in a photo) are an example of something that will not be the same in the item you receive.
