Description
The Snowflake series continues with another exquisite snowflake shape dotted with a sparkling crystal! This second hexagon coin features a magnified view of another classic stellar dendrite, which is the most common type of snow crystal, but each star-shaped form varies according to atmospheric conditions. Re-created in 99.99% pure silver, this particular snow crystal, which would have formed at temperatures around -15 degrees Celsius, is elaborately ornamented with distinct markings on a hexagonal motif that provide the illusion of symmetry, while the ice-blue crystal at its centre evokes the crisp winter sparkle of freshly fallen snow. HST/GST Exempt.
The Design:
Your coin’s reverse features a magnified view of a stellar dendrite ice crystal captured by Canadian photographer Don Komarechka and intricately reproduced by Royal Canadian Mint engravers. The coin’s proof finish directs light onto the six engraved branches (or arms) and the hexagonal motif, while the light blue crystal at the centre adds icy winter sparkle. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Steven Rosati.
