The Design:
The reverse design by Steve Hepburn celebrates the folk festivals that fill the air with music on warm summer nights. A viewpoint from the back of the stage places the focus on the performers: the banjo player and percussionist in the foreground, and the guitar-playing singer who is facing the crowd. 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.
