This coin is part of a beautiful new series by the Royal Canadian Mint that sheds some light on non-native but iconic Canadian flowers. Canada is renowned for its wide range of botanical diversity, but some of the most common planted and gifted flowers we see here are not Canadian at all; over the course of many generations, these flowers, brought from various other places on earth, become part of our understanding of the Canadian landscape. This item boasts a gorgeous depiction of an unfurled rose, engraved with high definition and relief, and crafted in a niobium core that has been individually oxidized to change the colour of the metal in order to create this unique effect. This particular coin would be a stunning and creative alternative to a bouquet of roses, or as a wonderful gift for any gardener or flower-enthusiast in your life.
