| Reverse description | The reverse presents a single rhododendron bloom rendered in vivid applied color, with delicate petals displaying naturalistic tonal gradation in pink and white hues. Faceted Swarovski crystal elements are affixed to the design to simulate glistening dew drops on the petals, lending a three-dimensional decorative quality to the composition. The floral motif is centered within the field, surrounded by the inscriptions CANADA · 20 DOLLARS and the date CD 2012, the latter incorporating the Royal Canadian Mint's mintmark. |

Part of the RCM's ongoing fine silver flora series, this issue appeared during a period when the Mint was aggressively expanding its collector program — annual themed releases had grown from a handful to over a hundred distinct issues by the early 2010s, a pace that drew criticism from dealers who argued it was saturating the secondary market and eroding resale values across the board.
