2025 Canada $20 Dancing Ammolite: Elements of Nature, Earth- Fine Silver 3D Coin

2025 Canada $20 Dancing Ammolite: Elements of Nature, Earth- Fine Silver 3D Coin

This second Dancing Ammolite showcases the elemental force of Earth.

The second Dancing Ammolite coin continues the series’ celebration of nature’s most fundamental elements by focusing on the one that grounds and nourishes us all: Earth. The life-sustaining element that lies beneath our feet is beautifully represented here by the blossoming motif that evokes nature’s cyclical rebirth and renewal, and by the branches and roots that are symbolic of steadfast, enduring growth. Selectively plated with yellow gold on the coin’s reverse, these engraved elements surround the ammolite mounted at the centre, where the rare Canadian gemstone embodies the rhythm of life, bouncing and flashing its lively colours with every movement.

Second in a series showcasing Canadian ammolite.

Design

Enhanced with selective gold plating, the reverse design by Canadian artist Mariya Olshevska is a representation of the Earth element in nature. A spring blossom contained within a bulb-like shape symbolizes nature’s cyclical renewal; as a repeating motif, it forms the petals of a larger flower shape, while the overlapping arrangement of tree branches and roots is representative of steadfast growth. At the centre, a standard grade ammolite that has been ethically sourced from Alberta’s Bearpaw Geological Formation is set in a 3D mount fashioned by Canadian jewellery manufacturer Beverly Hills Jewellers; the gold-plated setting allows the suspended gemstone to “dance” at the slightest movement of the coin base. The obverse features a stylized version of the engraved reverse, as well as the gold-plated effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
