Special features:
• This is the sixth coin in the highly sought-after series of breathtaking fine silver coins featuring some of Canada’s most beloved flowers, each dotted with crystal-coloured Swarovski® elements.
• The immaculate, mirror-like proof finish and the application of colour over the design’s finely detailed struck components brings added dimension to this remarkable portrait of a favourite summertime wildflower: the golden-yellow Rudbeckia hirta, commonly known as the black-eyed Susan.
• Crafted from 99.99% pure silver, the highly detailed design exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship for which the Royal Canadian Mint is internationally renowned.
About the Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Laurie Koss, your coin recreates the golden beauty of the Rudbeckia hirta or black-eyed Susan, as viewed from the front and just slightly above the flower. Like the spokes of a wheel, 12 bright yellow petals spread out from the prominent, dark brown centre cone as though each is embracing the summer sunshine after a light summer rain. This large, daisy-like blossom stands atop a terminal shoot, with a smooth-edged, dark green leaf growing outwards from the left side of the green stem. Detailed engraving beautifully recreates the leaf’s deep veins and the folds of each colourful petal; of these, three are adorned with a sparkling crystal-coloured Swarovski® element that recreates the appearance of dew drops clinging to the black-eyed Susan’s petals.
Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
