Design: The coin is created with stunning close-up of the eastern prickly pear’s summer bloom.

The coin is the first issue in an exciting new series that brings a magnified perspective to an all-time favourite theme—flowers. By their very nature, flowers are best celebrated with colour, and this coin has been selectively coloured in painstaking detail to showcase the beauty of the yellow and orangey-red flowers that bloom on the eastern prickly pear; a surprising cactus indigenous to Canada that grows on the nation’s southernmost point—Point Pelee in Ontario. The coin was designed by Canadian artist Claudio D’Angelo.

Packging: The coin comes encapsulated and presented in a custom box. It is accompanied by a serialized certificate of authenticity.
