2023 Canada $20 Celebrate Love Fine Silver (No Tax)

Love is a precious gift that takes many shapes in our lives, whether it’s the grounding love between family members and friends; the unbreakable bond of parent and child; the pulse-quickening affection of lovers; the deep devotion that is nurtured through understanding, respect and trust; or even the self-love that is the foundation for all of these relationships. 

Love in all its forms is worth celebrating, and this 99.99% pure silver keepsake is a heartfelt expression of your feelings and gratitude for someone special. Through its everlasting bouquet of jasmine flowers and infinity heart, the coin’s reverse expresses the joys of being connected to someone, and of being part of something bigger than yourself. That sentiment is amplified by yellow gold plating, which invites you to let love shine bright by showing you care.

Known for its intoxicatingly sweet fragrance, the jasmine carries special significance in various parts of the world. Regarded as a symbol of beauty, love, affection, purity or even good luck by many cultures, it is present in special celebrations in some countries, and even considered a symbol of motherhood in others.

Just like the rose, a jasmine’s colour has a different meaning: yellow for elegance, white for purity and sensuality, pink for affection, red for passion, blue for honesty and purple for inspiration.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Jori van der Linde is an expression of love that transcends romance. The feelings and thoughts associated with love are represented by the bouquet of jasmine flowers, which are widely regarded as a precious symbol of beauty, love affection, purity or good luck. Enhanced with gold plating, a ribbon weaves its way through the flowers to form an intricate infinity heart that represents unity and an unending bond. The word “CANADA” and the year “2023” are also engraved on the reverse. The obverse features the gold-plated effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
