Features

DRUSY STONE EMBELLISHMENT
Highly sought after in the jewellery market, a crystal-encrusted drusy stone embellishes your coin!

EACH COIN IS UNIQUE
Only a very small portion of fine drusy quartz has the rich green tones selected for your coin—each is unique!

EXPERT ENGRAVING AND FINISHING
The stone leaf emerges from a cluster of engraved birch leaves and catkins. These are set within a striking Art Nouveau-inspired frame of curling wood and stylized leaf forms captured in painstaking detail with expert engraving and finishing.
 

Design

Designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco, your coin features a cluster of birch leaves that includes a green drusy stone leaf embellishment. The sparkling drusy leaf emerges from the engraved silver cluster, seeming to burst out of the image alongside a clutch of catkins. The image is encircled by an ornate Art Nouveau-style frame of curled branches and stylized foliate shapes. Variations in finishing work with intricate engraving to give the design depth and texture.

Packaging

2017 Canadian $20 Brilliant Birch Leaves with Drusy Stone 1 oz Fine Silver Coin comes encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell case with black beauty box and Certificate of Authenticity.
