| Reverse description | The reverse presents a central circular color-printed vignette depicting two cyclists riding along a pathway beneath a canopy of blooming cherry blossom trees, rendered in soft pink and purple tones. Surrounding the vignette is an intricate engraved border composed of iconic Canadian imagery, including stylized mountains, evergreen trees, a guitar, a curling stone, marine motifs, and floral cherry blossom elements at the lower border. The legend CANADA is inscribed in bold relief along the lower rim, with the designer's initials SH visible on the guitar. The overall composition celebrates the cherry blossom as a symbol of Canadian spring and multicultural heritage. |

| Additional information |
The Royal Canadian Mint has issued cherry blossom-themed pieces with some regularity since the early 2000s, partly in acknowledgment of the Japanese-Canadian community and partly in response to consistent collector demand for botanically themed silver. This 2019 piece is one of several denominated at three dollars — a face value the RCM adopted for small-format silver gifts and collector pieces where a one-dollar denomination felt insufficient and a five-dollar one excessive. No particular historical event anchors this issue; it belongs firmly to the mint's modern numismatic program rather than to any commemorative occasion. Mintage was capped, as is standard for this product line, at figures well below circulation coinage.
