The petals surround the centre stigma disk that forms a radiating pattern inside the poppy. The obverse's coin-shaped base features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt with an engraved legend that includes the words \"CANADA\", \"2020\" and \"20 DOLLARS\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThis may be the most realistic flower we've ever struck as a coin. It has never been done before, so modeling and engraving this coin was both technically and artistically rewarding. I was enthusiastic to dive into this project because of its nature, but also because it wouldcommemorate our lost soldiers. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eModeling a realistic poppy with the inner pod, petal details and form was interesting because it involved a full 3D model from front to back. We've done concave and convex coins in the past, so we borrowed this knowledge to help produce the concavityof this coin and make sure it strikes. The antiquedfinish was a beautiful way to give it character.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\" \u003cstrong\u003eAlex Tirabasso, 3D Artist – Engraver, Royal Canadian Mint\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cstrong\u003eArtist and Engraver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDid you know…\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe poppy has been Canada's Flower of Remembrance since 1921.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuring the First World War, bombardments disrupted the soil in Flanders and created favourable conditions for \u003cem\u003ePapaver rhoeas \u003c\/em\u003eto appear onthe battlefields, as described in the poem \u003cem\u003eIn Flanders Fields\u003c\/em\u003e by John McCrae of Guelph, Ont.
