Not only are the flowers a telltale sign of spring, they are the symbol of friendship between nations. In 1945-46, Holland presented over 100,000 prized tulip bulbs to Canada in thanks for Canada welcoming Holland's Crown Princess and her daughters in 1940, and for Canadian soldiers' efforts to liberate Holland during the Second World War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1940, Queen Wilhelmina sent Crown Princess Juliana out ofharm's way to Canada. On 19 January 1943, the only royal baby ever born in North America was born in a room at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The birth was greeted with hope and strengthened the ties of friendship between Canadians and the Dutch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you're lucky, you may spot a pretty, brightly-coloured ladybug inhabiting a vibrant tulip in the spring. Both are warmly welcomed by gardeners as harbingers of spring. The twoalso share a unique relationship. The ladybug uses the tulip as shelter from predators and as a source of sustenance; much like how Canada was to the DutchPrincesses. In return, the ladybug-one of nature's most effective pesticides-keeps garden plants and flowers healthy throughout the growing season.\u003cbr\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003cbr\u003eProduct Number\u003cbr\u003e114777\u003cbr\u003eComposition\u003cbr\u003enickel plated steel\u003cbr\u003eWeight\u003cbr\u003e12.61 g\u003cbr\u003eEdge\u003cbr\u003eserrated\u003cbr\u003eCertificate\u003cbr\u003en\/a\u003cbr\u003eFace Value\u003cbr\u003e25 cents\u003cbr\u003eFinish\u003cbr\u003especimen (with coloured design on the reverse)\u003cbr\u003eArtist\u003cbr\u003eRoyal Canadian Mint engravers (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40785453482059,"sku":"RCM.CA.OT.CN.004886 - BC1116B","price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2872\/6347\/files\/false_3d976e1c-b0ac-4b19-bdf0-41d9d0472f4e.jpg?v=1717056855","url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-bm-2011-25-cents-tulip-with-ladybug-canadas-flora-and-fauna-sp-bc1116b","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
