Product Overview
Collect the entire series of 13 different low-mintage 2020 $3 fine silver coins that compose this Floral Emblems of Canada subscription collection. The White Trillium coin will be shipped with your order, with 12 additional coins sent out one per month as they are released by the Royal Canadian Mint. The first coin will come displayed in a custom 13-coin subscription case with space to add each new coin as it is released. While the mintage of each coin is limited to just 4,000, a much smaller number has been allocated to complete collections in a single case.
Coin 1: White Trillium, Ontario, $3 Fine Silver Coin (release date March 2020)
Ontario chose the trillium as its provincial flower in 1937. This white flower grows in the forest in the springtime, and it is called trillium because it has three petals and three leaves, since the tri part of trillium means three.
Coin 2: Blue Flag Iris, Quebec, $3 Fine Silver Coin (release date April 2020)
The Madonna lily, which looks like the heraldic fleur-de-lis on Quebec's flag, was Quebec's flower for 36 years. It is the symbol of French culture in France and Quebec, but it does not grow naturally in the province, so in 1999 Quebec chose a new flower that does grow naturally throughout the province: the blue flag iris.
Coin 3: Mayflower, Nova Scotia, $3 Fine Silver Coin (release date May 2020)
Nova Scotia selected the mayflower as its floral emblem in 1901. The mayflower grows along the East coast of North America, and it was named as such because the early European settlers named it after their ship, which carried them to North America in 1620, and because it was the first flower they saw in the spring.
Coin 4: Purple Violet, New Brunswick, $3 Fine Silver Coin (release date June 2, 2020)
This small purple or dark blue flower grows in wet meadows and forests, and grows very well all over New Brunswick. It was chosen as the provincial flower in 1936.
Coin 5: Prairie Crocus, Manitoba, $3 Fine Silver Coin (release date June 30, 2020)
The lavender-coloured prairie crocus has been Manitoba's flower for almost a hundred years; children in Manitoba chose it in a vote in 1906. It blooms very early in the spring, sometimes even before all the snow has melted.
Coin 6: Pacific Dogwood, British Columbia, $3 Fine Silver Coin (release date August 2020)
The Pacific dogwood has been British Columbia's floral emblem since 1956. These big, white flowers bloom on tall trees in April and May.
Coin 7: Lady's Slipper, Prince Edward Island, $3 Fine Silver Coin (release date September 2020)
Prince Edward Island adopted the lady's slipper as its floral emblem in 1947. The flower gets its name from its petals, which are shaped like a woman's shoe. It grows in the cool shade of the forest and blooms in the springtime.
Coin 8: Western Red Lily, Saskatchewan, $3 Fine Silver Coin (release date October 2020)
Saskatchewan selected the Western red lily as its floral emblem in 1941. This tall, bright red flower grows in meadows and light forests.
Coin 9: Wild Rose, Alberta, $3 Fine Silver Coin (release date November 3, 2020)
Albertan school children chose the pink, prickly wild rose as Alberta's flower in 1930. It grows across Canada from Quebec to British Columbia.
Coin 10: Pitcher Plant, Newfoundland and Labrador, $3 Fine Silver Coin (release date November 24, 2020)
The pitcher plant is Newfoundland and Labrador's provincial flower, and was chosen as its floral emblem in 1954. It's called the pitcher plant because part of it can fill with water like a pitcher; insects get trapped in the water and the plant eats them.
Coin 11: Mountain Avens, Northwest Territories, $3 Fine Silver Coin (release date January 2021)
The Northwest Territories selected the mountain avens as its territorial flower in 1957. This short, white flower with small leaves can grow in high, rocky ground.
Coin 12: Fireweed, Yukon, $3 Fine Silver Coin (release date February 2021)
The Yukon chose the fireweed as its floral emblem in 1957. The fireweed is a tall plant with many small, dark pink flowers. It grows in places such as clearings or next to roads and rivers. It is called "fireweed" because it is one of the first plants to grow after a fire.
Coin 13: Purple Saxifrage, Nunavut, $3 Fine Silver Coin (release date March 2021)
Nunavut's purple saxifrage grows well in cool weather. It is a small, bright-purple flower that grows like a mat over rocks and gravel. It can be found growing all over Nunavut, which is why the territory chose it as its floral emblem in 2000.
