The Design:

Canadian artist Jan Poynter captures the Kwanzan cherry tree in full bloom, featuring iconic pink blossoms.  The fine engraving details the five petal blossoms in both the tree and the bough in the foreground.  The graphic flourish behind the bough represents the passage of time and the reverence for the cherry blossom in art and culture.
