Canada: 2019 $3 Celebrating Canadian Fun and Festivities: Tulips Pure Silver Coloured Coin

Design: Designed by Steve Hepburn, your coin celebrates the start of the high season for flower and garden festivals across Canada. A ground-level view of the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill highlights a colourful array of tulips that are among the flowering symbols of spring in places such as Ottawa, Ontario, which hosts a world-famous tulip festival each May. 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; music festivals; cherry blossoms; maple syrup season; whale watching; tulips in bloom; 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.
