The reverse image features Canadian artist Yves Brub's striking portrait of CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent hard at work in the frozen waters of the Canadian Arctic. The portrait of the massive ship sits at the centre of the polished field, framed by a porthole window complete with engraved hinge, rivets, and two locks. Beyond this window the bow of the CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent, as well as its starboard side, are visible in three-quarter profile, approaching the viewer. The vessel's bridge, hull, cabin, and upper decks are drawn and engraved in minute detail. The massive bow, propelled by engines of massive power, cuts the field of ice between the vessel and the porthole into jagged chunks that line the hull.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis image of the CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent was inspired by the artist's own harrying experience, when a ship he was travelling on became locked in sea ice. Viewing CCGS Louis S.

With its short proboscis and low flight, the Eastern Tailed Blue looks for relatively low-growing flowers whose nectar is easy to access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis pretty member of the family Lycaenidae is strikingly coloured. Males have iridescent purple-blue upper wings outlined in black and white that may bear one or more orange spots at the base of the hind wings. Females have dark brown wings that are blue at the base in springtime broods. Both sexes have soft gray underwings and a single small “tail” jutting out from each of their hind wings. An almost identical species, the Western Tailed Blue (Cupido amyntula), is widespread across western and boreal Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike many butterflies, the Eastern Tailed Blue is a pollinator whose symbiotic relationship with plants is essential to the survival of both species. One of the Eastern Tailed Blue’s favourite flowering plants is the Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), a hearty North American native perennial that is found throughout Zones 3 through 8. Depending on the location, it will begin blooming late June and continue into early fall.\u003cbr\u003eThe Purple Coneflower is in many ways an ideal plant for butterflies. Its Latin genus originates with the Greek word for “hedgehog” and refers to the centre of its flower, which is composed of hard, short orange-red nectar-filled tubiflora that are reminiscent of a hedgehog’s quills. Around the base of this spiky bed of florets is a ring of long (averaging approximately 50 millimetres) reddish-purple petals that provide an excellent resting spot for an insect that must perch in order to feed. The plant itself grows to a height of about 1.5 metres at maturity, although a number of varieties are cultivated to grow closer to the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause it is easy to grow and maintain, and so attractive to beautiful butterflies like the Eastern Tailed Blue, the Purple Cornflower is a favourite among Canadian gardeners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51175852867716,"sku":"121899","price":249.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2013_20_Fine_Silver_Coin_Purple_Coneflower_and_Eastern_Tailed_Blue_reverse_3_4_view__55219.1364547511.1280.1280__05618.1364839943.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759512029"},{"product_id":"2012-fine-silver-20-coin-swarovski-crystal-snowflake","title":"2012 1oz $20 - SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL SNOWFLAKE - FINE SILVER COIN","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10px;\"\u003eWhen it comes to symbols that represent Canada, the snowflake could be a close second to the maple leaf.

A subgroup of the roughly 730 described species of bees (Apoidea: Anthophila) in Canada, bumble bees (genus Bombus), native to the Americas as well as Europe, Asia, and North Africa, are important pollinators crucial to the ongoing survival of many flowering plants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBumble bees in particular engage in a practice known as 'buzz pollination,' where, clutching a flower's stamen with their jaws, they rapidly vibrate their wing muscles, loosening and scattering pollen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBumble bees are among the most resilient types of bees and prefer temperate climates.

With its broad wingspan of up to ten centimetres and the distinctive yellow and black tiger stripe pattern on its wings and body, the Canadian Tiger Swallowtail is a striking feature of springtime in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Swallowtail’s showiest attributes—its wings—are also its most fascinating. The name of the order for all butterflies, Lepidoptera, means scale winged and refers to the unique structure of butterfly wings, which are composed of microscopic scales layered on a thin, transparent membrane called chitin that stretches over structures that are much like veins. This wing construction, which is being studied by scientists for applications in photonics and solar heating, helps butterflies to collect solar heat as they bask in the sun. The black colouring common on the wings of many butterflies, including the Canadian Tiger Swallowtail, is also important in thisprocess. The unique internal structure of the wing scales is responsible for the shimmering colour of many butterfly wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike other Swallowtail species, the Canadian Tiger Swallowtail breeds only a single generation each year. Its survival mechanisms, which include exceptional camouflage, help to protect it through its various stages of life. The larvae go through several moults, with their colour at each stage adapted to camouflage them from predators. In the earliest stages, they resemble bird droppings to deter consumption by birds. By the time they are mature caterpillars, they are dark green with two spots that look like eyes on their swollen front-section, lending them an uncanny resemblance to the head of a snake. They feed only at night—a further protection. When the caterpillar does need to defend itself, the osmeterium, an organ at the back of the head that is unique to Swallowtails, releases a foul smell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFound at the edges of hardwood forests and prevalent in flower gardens and among flowering bushes like lilac, the Canadian Tiger Swallowtail is common in all regions of Canada from mid-May to July.

Its muscular, claw-tipped front limbs bow slightly to the sides of its squat body, its front left claw raised as it walks forward.

Clues to the life story of our land and the creatures that once lived here lie encased in rock and earth. Solving the mystery of how they lived and died has captivated Canadian researchers and laypeople for over a century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the first fossil discoveries to capture the Canadian imagination was that of Bathygnathus borealis. In 1845, while digging a freshwater well near New London, Prince Edward Island, a man named Donald McLeod found what appeared to be part of the jaw of an ancient sharp-toothed animal. He gave it to Sir John William Dawson (the father of Atlantic Canada geology and paleontology), who later sold it to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, in the care of American paleontologist Joseph Leidy, to be studied. Initially, Leidy incorrectly suggested the bone was part of a dinosaur’s lower jaw. At the time, dinosaurs were known from incomplete skeletons in Europe but almost solely from footprints in North America, which led to this early misidentification. It wasn’t until 1905 that the bone was correctly identified as part of the upper jaw of a sphenacodontid, a family of “pelycosaur-grade” mammal-like reptiles or synapsids, animals that lived from the Late Pennsylvanian to middle Permian ages. Based on similarities of the jaw bones, experts now believe that the specimen could actually belong to the sail-back Dimetrodon or a similar animal, although fossil evidence of a sail has yet to be found. If Bathygnathus was similar to Dimetrodon, the large “sail” on its back could have helped regulate its body temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough exact details about the appearance and lifestyle of Bathygnathus borealis remain elusive, palaeontologists have been able to glean considerable information from this single fragment of upper jaw bone and its discovery site. They know the creature lived between 290 and 260 million years ago, when what is now Prince Edward Island lay near the equator. Its teeth suggest it was a large carnivorous synapsid that could have reached 2-3 metres in length. To this day the Bathygnathus borealis jaw bone remains the highest-quality specimen of the Permianperiod ever found on Prince Edward Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its early mis-identification as a dinosaur, Bathygnathus was long considered the first Canadian dinosaur discovery but its revised identity does not diminish its scientific and historical significance, making it the first pelycosaur ever discovered in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51175927545988,"sku":"126591","price":194.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2013_Dinosaurs_of_Canada_Bathygnathus_Borealis_REVERSE__29121.1370138905.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759515385"},{"product_id":"2013-20-pure-silver-coin-300th-anniversary-of-louisbourg","title":"2013 1oz $20 PURE SILVER COIN: 300TH ANNIVERSARY OF LOUISBOURG","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheme:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaying the foundation for a nation: The 300th Anniversary of Louisbourg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis $20 coin is certified to be 99.99% pure silver with a diameter of 40 millimetres and a metal weight of 31.60 grams.

But while Louisbourg’s military exploits have been widely celebrated, the town was also one of the New World’s most important economic and cultural crossroads, and a major hub for fishing and trading ships from across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLouisbourg was initially founded by a small group of about 150 French colonists in the year 1713, after the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht. When Louisbourg was named the capital of the French colony of Île Royale, it wasn’t long before the modest settlement became a thriving community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its huge natural harbour, Louisbourg offered a vital link between the Atlantic Ocean’s lucrative Grand Banks fishery and the rich waterways of the St. Lawrence, the ports of western France and the Caribbean. By the early 1750s, just 40 years after it was founded, despite its siege and capture in 1745, the town’s population had grown to more than 4,000 people. At its peak, Louisbourg was one of the busiest ports on the continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe British captured Louisbourg in 1758, but abandoned it in 1768 in favour of Halifax. Nothing was left but a fishing village called Louisbourg ringing the harbour. In 1926, the French settlement and fortifications of Louisbourg and the sites associated with the sieges were declared a National Historic Site. In the 1960s, the original fortified town was partially rebuilt and given new life as a tourist attraction, where visitors can experience first-hand what life was like in New France in the 1740s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe year 2013 marks the 300th anniversary of the founding of Louisbourg.
