The polka-dotted ladybug is one of our friendliest little garden helpers, and Canadians of all ages find it irresistible. But this rhodium-plated ladybug-the star of the Royal Canadian Mint’s third Bejeweled Bugs coin-may soon become your favourite. It’s adorned with garnet and black sapphire gemstones that make it easy to spot, especially when its sparkle is enhanced by coin’s proof finish. Composition: 99.99% pure silver. Weight: 31.39 g. Artist: Jori van der Linde (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse). THE SERIES CONTINUES: This is the third coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Bejeweled Bugs series, which features an insect-shaped jewellery piece mounted on an elegantly engraved 1 oz. GEMSTONES AND PRECIOUS METALS: Black and white rhodium plating re-create the ladybug’s base colours, while garnet and sapphire gemstones give it a spellbinding sparkle. A SHOWPIECE THAT SPARKLES AND SHINES: The engraved reverse is the perfect backdrop to the gemstone-encrusted ladybug, whose beauty is enhanced by the coin’s mirror-like surface. The entire piece shines like it’s bathed in light! Black clamshell with black beauty box.
