Design of the 3oz silver Canadian Collage Four Seasons colored coin

The obverse depicts Canada's four seasons. Each season has a fixed color association and those seasonal hues reflect the hues found in nature. They are well represented in this collage, where the use of color across the engraved relief and shifting color schemes reflect nature's cyclic transformation. All around you will see the inscriptions 2023 - the year of issue, CANADA - the country of issue and 50 DOLLARS - the face value of the coin.
 
The reverse shows the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Susanna Blunt. The reverse also bears a special marking with four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that adorned Canadian coins. In addition, you will see the inscriptions 1952 and 2022 - the years of her regime, ELIZABETH II - the name of the Queen and DG REGINA - the Latin abbreviation for 'by the grace of God, Queen'.
