This ornamental gate closely resembles the main gates of the Halifax Public Gardens, whose ornate scrollwork has been carefully adapted to retain its century-old aesthetic on a smaller scale, without sacrificing the element's durability. Paint gives the metalwork an appropriately weathered look; behind it, a full colour image invites the viewer to let their eyes and imagination wander towards the colourful flowerbeds, shrubs and trees, or the often-photographed bandstand that is at the very heart of this National Historic Site of Canada. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176365883524,"sku":"163169","price":375.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/163169-2T__92414.1512240789.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759539031","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2018-30-fine-silver-coin-halifax-public-gardens","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
