2018 Canada $30 Halifax Public Gardens 2oz. Fine Silver
The ornate scrollwork of a Victorian gate is a lasting work of fine art, even as it marks where one world ends and another begins. Stretching across this fine silver coin, the white bronze gate bears more than just a passing resemblance to the main gates of the Halifax Public Gardens, whose flower beds and bandstand are the epitome of Victorian-era elegance on the reverse.

• SMALL-SCALE REPRODUCTION: Fashioned from white bronze, the gate on the reverse captures the elaborate, antique artistry of the Gardens - often-photographed wrought iron gates!
• PUSHING THE LIMITS: Extensive research and development were necessary to determine just the right amount of metal to achieve the gate's intricate appearance without sacrificing durability - and without obscuring your view of the garden behind it!
• WEATHERING TIME: Adding to the authenticity of it all, the gate on the reverse is carefully painted to give it an appropriately aged look, like metalwork that has been exposed to time and the elements.

Maroon clamshell with black beauty box.
