Saddle up for our seventh Fun & Festivities coin! Its colourful design places you at the heart of the heart-stopping action during one of the many rodeo events that take place across Canada.
The reverse design by Steve Hepburn highlights one of Canada’s many rodeos. Under bright blue skies, a female competitor and her horse race against the clock during an outdoor barrel racing event. The image is framed by stylized icons that represent popular outdoor activities and sights in Canada: (clockwise from top) Niagara Falls; a Christmas tree; a rodeo; wine tasting; dogsledding; folk music; cherry blossoms; maple syrup tasting; whale watching; tulips; coastal drives; and the aurora borealis. The obverse features the year “2019” and face value “3 DOLLARS”, and the framed effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
