| Reverse description | Central design featuring a stylized tulip rendered with selective gold plating applied to the petals, set against the mirrored proof field. The composition commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Netherlands' annual gift to Canada of 20,000 tulip bulbs, a tradition established in gratitude for Canada's wartime shelter of the Dutch royal family and liberation of the Netherlands during World War II. The date '2002' appears within the design field, serving as the sole inscription on the reverse. This piece is the first issue in the Royal Canadian Mint's Flower Series. |
