This exquisite coin is the fifth in the Royal Canadian Mint’s sought-after series Canadian flora paired with fauna both an engraved and coloured design along with a unique one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted Venetian glass element created by a master glass-maker in Murano, Italy.
About the Design:
The reverse design by Canadian artist Maurice Gervais uses colour to recreate the leaves and white flowers of the broadleaf arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia), which fills the lower portion of the image field. A floating log serves as the perfect sunbathing platform for a Venetian glass version of a painted turtle, which has been handcrafted by master glass-maker Giuliano Donaggio in Murano, Italy.
Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
