Four-leaf Clover
St. Patrick’s Day celebrations held in many Canadian communities every March 17. For many, the four-leaf clover is just as symbolic—a centuries-old omen of good things to come, as celebrated with this fine silver coin.
Green and usually three-leafed, the clover that famously gives the Irish landscape its deep emerald colour is known the world over as the shamrock, and it is easily the most recognizable emblem of Ireland and its people! It is said that Saint Patrick, the fifth-century saint whose death is commemorated each year on March 17, famously used the clover's three leaves to illustrate the Christian principle ofthe Holy Trinity. But many are likely to associate this little green plant with the legendary four-leaf variety, which is a centuries-old symbol for luck that is widely considered to be an omen of good things to come. So if you happen upon a four-leaf clover, don’t cast itaside—you never know what luck it may bring!
