Product Description
2015 1oz $20 Fine Silver Coin – Forests Of Canada: Carolinian Tulip Tree
SPECIAL FEATURES
- The Carolinian forest represents only 1% of Canada’s total land area, but has the greatest number of flora and fauna species of any Canadian ecosystem— including 1/3 of all the rare, threatened and endangered species found in Canada.
- 1st issue in this exciting new series that explores the diversity and beauty of Canada’s forests.
- A stunning visual essay on Canadian flora—eight coins in all!
- An original gift for people living within Canada’s smallest, and loveliest forest zone—wherever tulip- trees grow along the south shore of Lake Huron, the north shore of Lake Erie and the Niagara Peninsula.
DESIGN
Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi has created a stunning design that celebrates the tulip-tree beauty of the Carolinian forest by portraying one of its most captivating residents, the tulip- tree. The coin’s foreground is dominated by a springtime bloom that has been painstakingly enhanced in colour to showcase its yellow-green petals with red-orange stripes and unusual forked leaves. In the background, tulip-trees tower above to form the forest canopy and provide a sense of scale for this floral star of the Carolinian forest.
