Description
This 2014 $20 pure silver coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint is both a limited edition collectible and a spectacular work of art. Mintage is limited to 12,500. HST/GST exempt. This coin was an immediate sell out from the Royal Canadian Mint when it released, and remains highly sought after today for its beauty and collectability.
The Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Maurice Gervais and features an engraved and painted Yellow Pond Lily that occupies the left side of the image field. The blossom is in full bloom, its outer cup shaped petals opened to reveal the circular pattern of stamens cradled inside. A stunning, translucent green Leopard Frog made of Venetian glass and hand-crafted by Giuliano Donaggio – a master glassmaker in Murano, Italy – sits upon the engraved and coloured green lily pad leaf in the right portion of the image field.
