The sweet scent of the mayflower is the fragrance of spring in Nova Scotia! This creeping wildflower blooms in April and May, when crowded clusters of tiny pink and white flowers appear on leathery leaves in forest glades. Trailing arbutus, better known as the mayflower, has been Nova Scotia’s official flower since 1901. And it is in full bloom on coin #3 in the jewellery-inspired series, which highlights the floral emblems of every Canadian province and territory.
The reverse design by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan features a stylized floral pattern on the outer ring, while the inner core features a colour portrait of the official floral emblem of Nova Scotia, the mayflower. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
