The rotating design allows for a continuous view of these natural icons, which speak of the diversity of life across our great land and in our skies. Beneath the engraved word “CANADA” are precision-engraved depictions of the following birds and animals (clockwise): a snowy owl (Quebec); the caribou (Newfoundland and Labrador); the Plains bison (Manitoba); the common raven (Yukon); a Canadian Inuit dog (Nunavut); the rock ptarmigan (Nunavut); the black-capped chickadee (New Brunswick); the white-tailed deer (Saskatchewan); the gyrfalcon (Northwest Territories); the common loon (Ontario); the osprey (Nova Scotia); the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Alberta); the great horned owl (Alberta); the blue jay (Prince Edward Island); the spirit bear (British Columbia); and the Atlantic puffin (Newfoundland and Labrador).\u003cbr\u003eMoving towards the centre, these wildlife icons are harmoniously grounded by a wreath of floral and arboreal emblems (l-r): the blue flag iris (Quebec); the prairie crocus (Manitoba); the fireweed (Yukon); the western red lily (Saskatchewan); the balsam fir (New Brunswick), which is positioned between the chickadee and the ptarmigan; the mountain avens (Northwest Territories); the eastern white pine (Ontario); the mayflower (Nova Scotia); the lady’s slipper (Prince Edward Island); and the Pacific dogwood (British Columbia). At the centre of it all, a maple leaf is struck to anchor the circular collage and represent a nation’s strong sense of identity and pride. The reverse also features the engraved face value “30 DOLLARS” and the year “2017”.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176323678340,"sku":"160780","price":402.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2017_30_Fine_Silver_Coin_-_Flora_and_Fauna-_REV__87440.1501569217.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759534903","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2017-30-fine-silver-coin-flora-and-fauna-of-canada","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
