2020 $3 Floral Emblems of Canada - Manitoba Prairie Crocus Silver (No Tax)

This coin celebrates a flowering beauty that goes by many names: Gosling plant, pasque-flower, windflower, etc. With designs from Lisa Thomson-Khan (reverse) and Susanna Blunt (obverse), this beautiful coin is a great gift for flower lovers.

Manitoba's floral emblem, the prairie crocus, is a very early flowering beauty that goes by many names. Fluffy and fuzzy, this purple-coloured sign of spring became the official flower in 1906, when it was suggested by the Manitoba Horticultural Society and put to a vote among the province's schoolchildren. One of several provincial emblems selected by popular vote, the enchanting prairie crocus is in bloom on the Royal Canadian Mint's fifth Floral Emblems of Canada coin that captures the look of antique silver jewellery.
