Description
Each winter since 2007, the Royal Canadian Mint has produced a $20 Crystal Snowflake coin with an embedded coloured Swarovski crystal. This has been an extremely popular series, with every issue to date selling out, and some coins now selling in the secondary market at values significantly above the original issue price. The 2011 Crystal Snowflake has a double struck frosted cameo “proof” finish – the highest quality possible. It is also struck in the highest quality .9999 fine silver, weighing just over one ounce. Mintage is 15,000 coins. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
This coin issued for the 2011-2012 winter features an embedded round emerald coloured center Swarovski crystal, encircled by six marquise cut white Swarovski crystals.
