Design:
Designed by Pandora Young, your coin presents across-cultural celebration inspired by the ancienttradition of Indian mehndi. A symmetrical arrangement of highly ornate shapes and symbols form a 12-point radial pattern that reflects the calendar year. A prominent henna motif - the lotus - is among the finely detailed elements that emanate from the centre, where a colourful Swarovski ¨ crystal represents the January birthstone, garnet. A selective application of colour complements the stone, while the playful contrast between soft and vivid tones highlightsthe layered complexity of the engraved artistry. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty QueenElizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
