Canada: 2019 $3 Maple Syrup Tasting: Celebrating Canadian Fun and Festivities  Pure Silver Coloured Coin

Design: Designed by Steve Hepburn, your coin features a colourful depiction of a young family enjoying a sugar bush experience in early spring. Tin buckets collect the sap from the tapped maple trees in the foreground. A winding path leads back to the sugar shack, where syrup is made in a more traditional way, by boiling the sap in a large kettle hanging over a roaring fire. The image is framed by stylized icons that represent popular outdoor activities and sights in Canada: (clockwise from top) Niagara Falls; a Christmas tree; a rodeo; wine tasting; dogsledding; folk music; cherry blossoms; maple syrup tasting; whale watching; tulips; coastal drives; and the aurora borealis. The obverse features the year “2019” and face value “3 DOLLARS”, and the framed effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
