CANADIAN LILAC COIN DESIGNER JAN POYNTER

This article from Canada published June 22, 2017 has a very brief profile of coin artist Jan Poynter featuring her lilac blossom silver coin design. -Editor

Artist Jan Poynter has designed her third coin for the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) and the $15 lilac blossom silver coin is now available at the Mint’s online store.

After the popular RCM cherry blossom coin appeared in April 2016, Poynter was asked to submit a second blooming tree design in the Celebration of Spring series.

Her colourful Preston lilac design won the competition.

Poynter is pictured in her Granthams Landing garden with a Preston lilac.

This lilac was named for its creator, Isabella Preston (1881 - 1965), Canada’s first female hybridist who was also an acclaimed ornamental plant breeder.

While I diaapprove of colorization for colorization's sake, I do appreciate colorized designs that are approproate for the subject material. This is a nice one. -Editor
