Experience one of nature's most delicate moments, as a monarch butterfly circles around an aster bloom.
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 flyÃthe moment is fleeting and full of magic.
Special features
An interactive viewing experience. The monarch's multi-generational migration is one of the most complex and highly evolved of any animal, and its unique appearance makes it one of the best-known butterflies in Canada. Through its interactive design, your coin's reverse invites every viewer to learn more about this emblematic species.
5 oz. of pure silver. Your 5 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin features a large 65.25 mm diameter that provides enough space for both the engraved and silver cast elements. Together, they form a magical design that will enchant gardeners and nature lovers.
Special packaging. Instead of being enclosed in a regular capsule, your coin sits on an elegant wooden base and is protected by a clear dome that allows you to view and interact with your new keepsake.
Very low mintage. Our movement coins always sell out quickly, and with a limited mintage of just 1,250 coins, this one is sure to be in high demand.
Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
