The Monarch and The Bloom 5 Oz Silver Coin
Designed by RCM Engraver Ryan Poser, your coin’s reverse features an engraved arrangement of aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) flowers topped with a 3D monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) and aster bloom. Both elements are cast in sterling silver; the butterfly is plated in yellow gold and the flower is plated in rose gold. When the coin is tipped, the motion causes the monarch to circle around the flower. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
What a joy to spot this splendid creature! Delicate and graceful, the gorgeous monarch butterfly flits from one plant to the next, dancing merrily through the sky in search of the perfect flower—like the standout bloom on this coin’s interactive reverse. A monarch butterfly may travel up to 5,000 kilometres during its two-way migration, an astounding feat for one so small and fragile! It truly is a wonder to observe, both in nature and on this fine silver movement coin, as it selects one special flower out of the millions it has passed over. Tilt the coin to make the monarch fly–the moment is fleeting and full of magic.
