About
Gorgeous image of a canola field in rural Manitoba! Order yours today!
Beneath the vast expanse of the bright blue prairiesky lie the fertile farmlands of Manitoba. Here, inthe heart of the North American continent, the landscape changes as you move from east to west acrossthe province, where the trees of the boreal forest slowly give way to the open grasslands of the Canadian prairies. In the summer, the gently rolling landscape is awash in the golden hues of wheat, and canola crops that seemingly stretch out from one horizon to the other—a dazzling sight in the summer sun, but also a powerful testament to the region's strong agricultural tradition.
A beautiful addition to your Canadiana coin display! Order today!

Design:
Based on a photograph captured by Canadian photographer John Sylvester, the reverse features vibrant colour over the engraved image of an agriculturalsetting in rural Manitoba. In the foreground, the brilliant yellow fields of canola naturally draw theeye to the gently rolling landscape, where grain bins can be seen in the far-off distance. The application of vibrant colour over engraving offers a remarkably life-like re-creation of the original photograph, which beautifully captures the contrast between the deep blue sky overhead and the intensely yellow crops that dazzle beneath the hot summer sun. The reverse also features the engraved word "CANADA" and the dates "1867-2017" to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
