Design:
Based on a photograph taken by Canadian photographer Robert Hamilton, your coin features vibrant colour over the detailed engraved image of a seaside setting in PrinceEdward Island. The evening sun casts its golden light upon the landscape, where the island's famously red rocks cast long shadows on the sand. On the grass-covered slope sits the province's oldest wooden lighthouse, the Panmure Island Head, whichwas built in 1853 on the northeast shore of Panmure Island. This octagonal-shaped lighthouse and the structure next to it appear brighter against the blue sky; adding to the idyllic nature of the scene are the grazing horses to the left of the lighthouse,while to the right, a flock of birds take flight over the water's edge. The reverse also featuresthe engraved word "CANADA" and the dates"1867-2017" to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
