Design:
Designed by Pandora Young, your coin presents a cross-culturalcelebration inspired by the ancient tradition 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 hennamotif - the lotus - is among the finely detailed elements that emanate from the centre, where a colourful Swarovski ¨ crystalrepresents the June birthstone, pearl. A selective application of colour complements the stone, while the playful contrast between soft and vivid tones highlights the layered complexity of the engraved artistry. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
