Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco, your coin presents a close view of Canada's most commonwild rose and the floral emblem of Alberta, Rosa acicularis. The leaves and flowers of this native shrub fill much of the engraved reverse, where the proof finish is as luminous as a bright summer day. The image is topped by two sterling silver-cast elements: a rose gold-plated bloom and a gold-plated bumble bee. Firmly affixed to the coin's surface, the five-petal flower is fullyopened to expose the pollen-laden anthers that are a food source for pollinating insects. But the moveable bumble bee adds an interactive twist to this dimensional design; using gravitational force, the "flying" bee is able tocircle around the rose whenever the coin is tiltedfrom one side to the other. The reverse includes the engraved word "CANADA" and the year, "2019". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
