The 12-coin Celebrating Canadian Fun and Festivities series is a month-by-month exploration of Canada, where life is a four-season adventure. The fourth coin hints at a magical springtime occurrence, when flowering cherry trees add a burst of pink to city streets and parks.
The reverse design by Steve Hepburn highlights the stunning beauty of cherry blossom season in some cities across Canada. The evening light sets the mood and heightens the colours as two people ride their bicycles on a quiet, tree-lined street. Flowering cherry trees form an arching canopy of pink and white blooms overhead. 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; music festivals; cherry blossoms; maple syrup season; whale watching; tulips in bloom; 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.
