Comment

With its colorful petals wide open under the sun's rays, the flamboyant orange-red lily puts "In creating the series, I wanted to evoke the paintings of yesteryear, with vibrant colors and broad brushstrokes reminiscent of the Victorian style. We added an intricate decorative border, inspired by the fine silver filigree technique, to enhance the flowers with its stylized elements that move and curl across the surface like vines and leaves." - Lisa Thomson-Khan, artist

Did you know?
The orange-red lily, or prairie lily, can be seen from British Columbia east to Quebec, where it is becoming rarer due to agriculture and land development.

In Saskatchewan, it is forbidden to pick the flowers of the orange-red lily in the wild, as this deprives the plant of nutrients and weakens it to the point of death.

The orange-red lily is featured not only on Saskatchewan's flag, but also on its coat of arms. It appears in the crest (the beaver holds a flower) and on the pendant of the deer holding the shield, and several of its flowers are intertwined with a banner below the two holders. The red of the coat of arms is derived from this plant.

Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a double-shell case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case is accompanied by a black protective box.full view of the eighth coin in our Canadian Floral Emblems series.
