This 2019 $3 fine silver coin features a Canadian vineyard and the opportunity to taste the fruit of the vine. Late summer to early fall is harvest season, which is the perfect time to sample all the flavours Canada has to offer. And for a picture-perfect getaway, consider a vineyard tour and tasting experience. This coin invites you to savour the moment at any of Canada’s award-winning wineries. Whether you fancy a sip of Niagara Cab Franc, Okanagan Syrah, Quebec Ice wine or Nova Scotia’s Tidal Bay variety, our different wine regions serve up the best of Canadian food, drink, and scenery, year-round
The reverse design by Steve Hepburn steps into the heart of wine country, where the rolling hills are lined with fruit-laden grapevines. The grape clusters in the foreground hint at the bounty of the fall harvest season in Canada’s many vineyards and wineries. The image is framed by stylized icons that represent popular outdoor activities and sights in Canada
