These colours are based on the projections on the Peace Tower in the final section of Northern Lights, the sound and light show on Parliament Hill. The obverse design features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll by Susanna Blunt. “I thought it was important to capture a perspective that is realistic to a spectator's view as they watch the light show.” Matt Eggink, Artist
