Throughout history, cultures around the world have recognized the moon as the guardian of natures cycles. Its perpetual waxing and waning, dying and reappearing, marked the passage of time – not clock time, but rather the mythic time that governs the rhythms of life: the ebb and flow of the sea, the birth, maturation and migration of animals, and the scattering of seeds the sprouting of new plants. In North America, the Native American. Peoples, including the many Algonquin tribes, utilized the lunar cycle as a celestial calendar to track time.

Canadian artist John Mantha has created countless visual works for advertising agencies, corporations, book publishers, magazines, television and movies, so when he was asked to design coins, he eagerly embraced this challenging new medium. Mantha is undeterred by the challenge of downsizing his creative thinking from a movie screen or book page to the minute proportions of a coin, The size of the finished product is really secondary. I see my role as an interpreter. I listen carefully to my client to get a feeling’ for what they are trying to say, and then figure out how to express it through my art. Some people speak multiple languages to verbally communicate an idea, but the languages I use are visual; and they include everything from the paint or pencil; the paper or canvas; colors, shapes, style and perspective. Full Moon Series of Niobium and Silver Proof Bimetallic Proofs. Is Mantha’s sixth collaboration with the Mint. “I have a great appreciation for the beauty of the full moon, ” he says. I grew up in Sault Ste. Marie and would go canoing deep in the bush, where it starts to get dark as soon as the sun disappears behind the trees. But if there’s a full moon, it makes all the difference when you have to find your way around the camp site. While doing background research for the Full Moon Series, Mantha discovered that Canada’s First Nations (Indians) people share a deep connection with the moon. In fact, aboriginal cultures around the world consistently look to the skies for information – when to plant; when to hunt; when animals begin their migration. ” “I believe the moon has magical qualities that are undeniable, ” says Mantha, “Ever notice how people glance up at night, even if for a second? The moon’s size and location may change, but its powerful allure remains the same. This is why I kept it silver in all the designs. Regardless of the weather or the season, the moon is constant: a reassuring source of comfort for us here on earth.

When the first immigrants began arriving in Canada almost 300 years ago, many brought the botanical treasures from their homeland. The first roses to arrive were from France, but they were ill equipped to endure the extreme climates of North America. It wasn’t until later that hardier varieties began to tempt their fate against the Canadian winter. One of the most notable is. Or Father Hugo’s rose, named after Father Hugh Scallon, the missionary who discovered this beautiful rose in China and sent it to England in 1899. It wasn’t long before the tough disposition of this rugged rose became obvious, and the Golden Rose of China was brought to Canada. This vigorous beauty is a gardener’s dream! Every spring, despite the ravages of winter, this 8 foot (2.5 m) tall shrub will produce a bounty of delicate blooms. Their perfect golden color is a sight to behold! The beautiful tulip is perennial plant with waxy leaves and a large, delicate flower. It is grown from bulbs in gardens all over North America. Is famous for an interesting incident, the “tulip mania” of the seventeenth century. Needless to say, the speculative bubble burst and many were financially ruined. Today, we appreciate the tulip for its beauty, but now know that. Coins are a much better investment. Tulips have an unique connection to Canada. In 1945 Canadian soldiers played a principal role in liberating Holland. Since World War II. These two nations have enjoyed a special friendship. Earlier in the war, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands sent her only child and heir, Princess Juliana, to Canada for safety, along with the current queen, Beatrix, then a young child. On January 19th, 1943, Princess Juliana gave birth to another daughter, Princess Margriet Francisca, resulting in the first royal baby ever born in North America! As a special gesture of gratitude after the war, the Dutch queen sent 100,000 tulip bulbs to Canada, and Princess Juliana sent another 20,000 as a personal gift, with more following every year. Today, over one million tulips bloom each May in Ottawa. Where the annual Tulip Festival is held. In this way these gifts of thanks became an annual bequest and transformed Ottawa into the floral showcase that is celebrated every year, a glorious tradition! The Royal Canadian Mint leads the world with its many proprietary technologies. Now it has added another high-tech process to its stable of legal tender enhancements – oxidized niobium metal combined with silver for a dramatic and colorful effect! The design by Canadian artist Bert Liverance shows a single rose flower. Selectively colored so it stands out from a sea of blooms – a tribute to the welcome sight that graces Canadian gardens from coast to coast each spring. The design is further enhanced by the coin? S oxidized niobium core to create a stunning, one-of-a-kind effect. A frosted cameo portrait of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. In profile facing right.
