Join the adventure in the sky with this brightly coloured coin that takes you high above the ground to celebrate the many festivals that fill Canada's skies with breathtaking colour and shapes each year. Even the coin itself is specially crafted to echo the balloon's inverted teardrop shape!
Extremely fine detailing and tilt-shift perspective deliver a remarkable depth of field that will make you feel as if you're floating in a basket high above the ground, gazing out at big billowing clouds of vibrant orange, green, purple and blue as they float down the mountain valley. A red-and-white balloon salutes the rich ballooning tradition that can be found across Canada from Newfoundland and Labrador to British Columbia and the Far North, where passengers can experience the ride of their lives as they enjoy Canada's breathtaking landscapes in this exhilarating way—share the magic wherever you are with this original, excitement-filled keepsake!
