Comment

Gorgeous grasslands, show-stopping shorelines, mighty mountains, and more—all of these breathtaking places exist within our borders, and each contains its own assortment of beautiful flora and fauna. Inspired by our classic circulation coin designs, this 3 oz. coin’s colour-over-engraved portrait celebrates the diversity of our landscapes through the seasons, and it’s all framed by the mighty maple leaf that proudly identifies Canada to the world.

Iconic wildlife and landscapes come together to represent Canada as a whole.

DID YOU KNOW?
If you’re hoping to see the aurora borealis in person, nature’s most colourful light show is best viewed between September and April in Northern Canada. Yellowknife, N.T. is a prime Canadian destination for viewing these “Northern Lights” on a clear night, but it’s possible to catch a glimpse of it from elsewhere in Canada during a period of heightened geomagnetic activity.

The famous Niagara Falls are actually three separate waterfalls that straddle the Canada-United States border—the largest one, the Horseshoe Falls (featured on this coin), is mostly located on the Canadian side. In the summer, more than 168,000 cubic metres of water rush over the falls every minute during peak hours (the flow is impacted by nearby hydroelectric plants). All of that water erodes the crest of the falls at an estimated rate of 1 foot every year, although it could be reduced further to 1 foot every 10 years.
