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.
Not only landscapes change color every year, some animals too! Several northern mammals, including the arctic fox and peary caribou, have been known to trade their summer coat for a heavier, whiter coat that keeps them warm in the winter.
