The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. "I designed the series to evoke sentiments of antique hand-painted art, with vibrant colours and bold strokes that are reminiscent of a Victorian style. Inspired by the decorative filigree of fine silver, the ornate decorative border was purposely designed to complement the flowers, using stylized elements that move and twist across the surface like vines and leaves." Lisa Thomson-Khan: ArtistDid you know…The generic lady's slipper was designated the provincial flower of Prince Edward Island on April 25, 1947. At first, it was represented by the showy lady's slipper, which is uncommonin the province. In 1965, the pink lady's slipper (Cypripedium acaule) or moccasin flower was recognized as the official emblem.This flower gets its name from the pouch-like petals that form the shape of a slipper.Contrary to its name, the pink lady's slipper isn't necessarily pink: its petals can also be white, though this is less common.Canada is home to eight different species of lady's slippers, including the pink lady's slipper that canbe found across much of Canada—except in British Columbia, Yukon and Nunavut.Packaging:Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
