Canadians from royal mint got us accustomed to several things: high value of manufacturing, interesting materials and peculiar affection to themes connected with nature. They do not disappoint also this time. Do you to hear a proposal for you for 2017? A 20-dollar coin with a three-dimensional beetle!

A beetle goes out of the coin

The collection „Small creatures” obligates. This time Canadians chose a beetle made of Venetian glass, which is made by hand in such a way that it literally goes out of the coin. However, three-dimensional effect is not the only advantage of this coin, though work of Guliano Donaggio from Murano really deserves a big round of applause.
You will surely notice high quality of silver of 999 fineness. There are not many identical coins – only 8,5 thousand in the world. Much fewer, comparing to the output of the first edition of the series.  Each of them, also the one available in our online collectors’ coin shop, is packed in an elegant, commemorative case and contains a certificate confirming the authenticity.
If you love nature, or you know someone who is keen on collecting coins as well as on nature – order this extraordinary gift or, if you prefer, an investment.
