This $3 pure silver coin features Ontario's trillium. Every Spring across the province, this pretty three-petaled flower's blooms blanket the forest floor.
The coin’s reverse proof finish gives it the look of vintage silver jewellery. This perfectly complements the colour portraits at the centre of our floral-themed celebration of Canada.
Canada’s most populous province was one of the first to enter Confederation in 1867, and that’s why its floral emblem is the first one featured in our 13-coin series. Ontario officially adopted its floral emblem in 1937 with the passing of the Floral Emblem Act, and based on a recommendation made by a special committee of horticulturalists.
Collect all of Canada’s provincial and territorial floral emblems with this 13-coin series! It’s the only series in 2020 to feature Canada’s unique flora at an affordable price. A new coin is issued monthly from March 2020 to March 2021.
