Product Overview
The mountain avens is a hardy flower that can thrive in the harshest climates, and it's represented in this eleventh coin in the Floral Emblems series. The reverse design by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan features a colour portrait of the official floral emblem of Northwest Territories, and the obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
These plants are ground-hugging, sun-loving, semi-shrubs. The leaves are one to two centimetres long, narrow with smooth edges and a somewhat shiny upper surface. The small, leathery, evergreen leaves are wrinkled on the upper surface and are hairy underneath. Its white, saucer-shaped flowers are two to three centimetres wide, growing on stalks two to 15 centimetres tall. The seed plumes are twisted in tight red/gold bundles that open into fluffy round seed heads as they mature. These species prefer rocky barren areas, alpine meadows and ridges. Arctic mountain avens can also tolerate moist conditions, where it takes on a creeping form.
