Canada's gardens are filled with a tremendous variety offlowers, but a few of them remain all-time favourites that always capture more admiring gazes than all the others. One is the tulip, and its big, bold dashof springtime colour is so popular that Ottawa has become "The Tulip Capital of North America."

Canada provided safe haven for the Dutch royal family duringthe Second World War. When the conflict ended, theybegan sending annual gifts of tulip bulbs to Canada. Today, Ottawa blooms with millions of tulips everyyear, while Canadians have planted countless more in their gardens from coast to coast.

This spectacular tulip coin has a niobium core that has beenindividually oxidized for a one-of-a-kind patina that will last forever. It delivers a unique background to showcase the single flower that has been selectively coloured-a tribute to one of Canada's superstar blooms.

Special features:
¥ 1st coin in this exciting new series of 3 showcasing Canada's favourite flowers.
¥ This coin features an innovative minting process that incorporates a niobium insert struck into the coin's silver core. The niobium is selectively coloured using a unique oxidization process produced naturally by niobium's distinct properties. Niobium is used in superalloys, superconducting magnets and is commonly used tostrengthen steel. The ability to make unique colours directly from niobium, make it an interesting metal for coins.
¥ The niobium core on each coin has been individually oxidized to permanently change the colour of the metal and create a one-of-a-kind background to showcase the flower. This means each coin has a unique colour due to the niobium oxidization process as the colour cannotbe replicated exactly each time!
¥ Beautifully crafted in 99.99% pure silver, each design has a single flower in its niobium core that has been selectively coloured. Set against the niobium background, each tulip bloom stands out in its own unique way.
¥ Give this coin as a creative twist to the floral bouquet. It's a wonderful piece of art for gardeners and anyone who appreciates the beauty and excitement of springtime tulips!
¥ Limited to 6,000 coinsworldwide-a must-have!
