2014 $5 Flowers in Canada - Poinsettia Silver & Niobium Coin (No Tax)

Canada is a land of amazing botanical diversity, yet some of the most popular flowers found in Canadian's homes and gardens are not from Canada but imports brought here by immigrants from around the world. With time, these beautiful flowers have been woven into the fabric of this nation's identity and into the everyday lives of its people.

The reverse image by Canadian artist Bert Liverance shows a poinsettia flower selectively coloured so it stands out from a sea of blooms-a stunning tribute to the star-shaped flower that beautifies holiday festivities across Canada every year. The design is further enhanced by the coin's oxidized niobium core to create a stunning, one-of-a-kind effect.
