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.
