Reverse

Stretching across the entire reverse, the borderless background image offers a photo-realistic close-up of a flowerbed—specifically one that showcases several Canada 150 tulips in full bloom. In contrast, the easel-mounted canvas in the foreground is positioned in a way that suggests the viewer is in fact the artist, as the eye naturally lingers on the finished painting of the white and red-flamed tulip.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2017 Canadian $20 Silver Elizabeth II (Springtime Gifts) coin is that it features a unique texturized color application, which gives the coin a distinctive and eye-catching appearance. The colorful design is achieved through a process called "texturized color," which involves applying a layer of colored powder to the coin's surface and then heating it to create a textured, raised effect. This process creates a visually striking contrast between the colorful design and the silver background, making the coin stand out from other coins in the series.
