Marked by curving pathways and flowerbeds filled with colorful favorite's, the magnificent Halifax Public Gardens holds the distinction of being one of the few surviving Victorian gardens in Canada. - Its main gates inspired the white bronze gate on the coin, where the same elaborate scrollwork sets a beautiful boundary between our world and the depiction of the bandstand that is at the heart of this Haligonian oasis. - Home to more than 140 species of trees, the 16-acre Halifax Public Gardens is one of the few surviving Victorian gardens in Canada. - It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1984 and is regarded as a shining example of "Victorian 'Gardenesque' landscape design and planting traditions." Its doors feature the coat of arms for the city of Halifax and its motto, E Mari Merces.
- This coin is legal tender, bears a face value of $30 dollars, and is backed by Royal Canadian Mint. - Each silver coin arrives in its original themed Mint box and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. - A hard plastic capsule (w/Box & COA) is also included with this item.
Obverse: Designed by Canadian artist Margaret Best, your coin features a world of carefully cultivated beauty beyond the gate that stretches from rim to rim. - This ornamental gate closely resembles the main gates of the Halifax Public Gardens, whose ornate scrollwork has been carefully adapted to retain its century-old aesthetic on a smaller scale, without sacrificing the element's durability.
