Special features:
This Royal Canadian Mint Coin is the fifth coin in a series that pairs engraved and painted flowers with a beautiful detailed rendering of a creature that is native to Canada’s natural landscape.
The Venetian glass turtle was handcrafted by master glassmaker Giuliano Donaggio in Murano, Italy.
Murano glass is world renowned for its vibrant colours, which are perfectly suited to recreate the painted turtle’s own unique colouring.
A special addition to your nature or canadiana themed collection
The design is finely engraved and meticulously presented in a beautiful proof finish (frosted raised elements on a mirror background).
Your coin is GST/HST exempt.

Design:
The reverse design by Canadian artist Maurice Gervais uses colour to recreate the leaves and white flowers of the broadleaf arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia), which fills the lower portion of the image field. A floating log serves as the perfect sunbathing platform for a Venetian glass version of a painted turtle, which has been handcrafted by master glass-maker Giuliano Donaggio in Murano, Italy.

Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
