When summer's warm breeze yields to the chill of the autumn air, Canadians delight in knowing they have a front-row seat to nature's most famous seasonal transformation! Days grow shorter as the sun sits lower on the horizon, blanketing the countryside with a golden glow. The crisp air seems to heighten the senses, which eagerly take in the season's sights, sounds and scents: there's the trumpeting call of migrating geese; the crunch of fallen leaves underfoot; and the surrounding mosaic of orange, yellow, red and purple leaves that represent Mother Nature's last colourful hurrah before the quieter days of winter. This is Canada at its colourful best!

Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco, your coin presents an idyllic, lakeside view of Canada's autumn landscape. Colour over engraving re-creates the season's iconic mix of red, orange, yellow, green and brown foliage that transform the once-green surroundings and make Canada a prime fall destination! The mosaic of colourful leaves is beautifully reflected on the lightly rippled surface of the water, along with the purple hue of the hills that rise up in the distance. Near the water's edge, two Muskoka chairs invite us to linger longer in this tranquil setting, where the trumpeting call of Canadian geese (Branta canadensis) overhead is associated with the change of season and adds to this quintessentially Canadian experience. The reverse also features the engraved year "2017" and the word "CANADA". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
