Few are immune to the feelings of wonder, hope and awe that stir at the sight of that many-hued arc, for no natural phenomenon is as welcome as the rainbow! After each rainfall, the young and young-at-heart search the skies, eager to identify the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet hues that curve across the firmament. Legends may persist about what lies at a rainbow's end, but its appearance is certainly a joy in itself and easily lifts spirits as the dark, stormy skies clear.

With a limited mintage of only 8,000, this coin is sure to sell out quickly—so order yours today!

Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco, your coin combines detailed engraving, innovative colour technology and various finishing techniques to showcase a brilliantly coloured rainbow on a stormy day. Against the rolling hills in the background, a farmhouse and barn sit atop a gentle slope where a road leads to two round bales in the foreground. The eye is naturally drawn to the multi-coloured arc that descends from the dark storm clouds above; here, the skilful combination of diffused technology and vivid paint adds a subtle transparency quality to the rainbow's radiant colours, and a faint glow above it, as the rain tapers off. There's a hopeful clearing above this rural landscape, with the appearance of blue sky in the break between the clouds behind the rainbow.

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