Highlights the fragile beauty of the prairie landscape in Saskatchewan
For many, Saskatchewan evokes images of endless fields of wheat and canola beneath a big Prairie sky. In truth, the landscape is much more varied—from tundrato forests to rolling grasslands, which are home toiconic species such as the endangered swift fox. Through rich colour over engraving, the tenth coin in this series highlights the diversity of life in Saskatchewan, which has greatly contributed to Canada's rich natural legacy.
