About
Your coin is styled like vintage silver jewellery and fits in a pendant necklace (not included).
While Iris versicolor can be found in marshes and along shorelines in central and eastern Canada, it has special meaning in the province of Quebec.
This violet-blue wildflower is synonymous with wetlands, rivers and lakes in Labelle province, where the provincial emblem blooms between late May and early July. Quebec was one of the first four Canadian provinces established by the British North America Act (Confederation) in 1867. And that's why its provincial flower is our second coin in our vintage jewellery-inspired Floral Emblems of Canada series. And, your coin's reverse features a colourful depiction of the blue flag iris, which gained official status as the floral emblem of Quebec in 1999.
A gorgeous gift of Quebec's beautiful blue flag iris for that special someone.
- A history-minded approach. The 13 coins are ordered in the way each province became part of Confederation, followed by each territory.
- A new coin each month. Available for individual purchase (a new coin is issued monthly from March 2020 to March 2021) or as part of a monthly subscription that guarantees all 13flowers will put down roots in your collection. With each subscription, you also get an exclusive graphic beauty box that will hold your 13 coins together as one complete series.
- A great gift or new addition. These beautiful coins make a great Canadian gift and they're the perfect addition to any Canadiana-themed collection.
Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
