2020 $3 Floral Emblems of Canada - New Brunswick Purple Violet Silver (No Tax)

2020 $3 Floral Emblems of Canada - New Brunswick Purple Violet Silver (No Tax)

This coin celebrates New Brunswick's official flower. With designs from Lisa Thomson-Khan (reverse) and Susanna Blunt (obverse), the coin is a gorgeous gift for those who are fascinated with flowers.

The purple violet is a water-loving perennial herb–if it's not growing in water, it's likely growing near it. Its blue-centred blooms will catch your eye from May to July, when they add a punch of colour to meadows, bogs and open woodlands. New Brunswick's official flower is one of several Canadian emblems that were selected by means of public input. It's also the featured star of the Royal Canadian Mint's 4th Floral Emblems of Canada coin series, with a reverse design that captures the look of antique silver jewellery.
