Interesting fact
The Purple Coneflower and Butterfly coin is a unique and beautiful collector's item, but it's also interesting to note that the coin's design features a species of butterfly that is not native to Canada. The butterfly depicted on the coin is actually a Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), which is native to North America, but not specifically to Canada. This design choice adds an element of international connection and highlights the shared beauty of nature across different countries and regions.
