It sparkles on a sunny winter day and shimmers on a cold moonlit night – wherever a snow crystal lands, its delicate form is as ethereal as it is enchanting, and the ice crystal that landed on this coin’s reverse is no exception. Snow crystals, such as the stellar dendrite featured here, are beautifully varied and unique, and most of them feature six points or sides, which inspired the Royal Canadian Mint’s first hexagon coin. Its outline emphasizes the elaborate form of the snow crystal engraved on the coin’s reverse, which is dotted with a sparkling clear crystal. Looking closely at the magnified view, you’ll notice each of those fern-like branches are slightly different, which reflects the natural variations of shape that make these works of art endlessly fascinating – in nature, and on the Snowflake coin. A snow crystal’s shape is largely determined by the atmospheric conditions under which it is growing, specifically the temperature and humidity. The arms of snow crystals appear symmetrical because they are growing under similar environmental conditions. However tiny variations in temperature and humidity across the crystal will cause each arm to grow slightly differently, and this helps explain why no two snow crystals are exactly alike. The coin’s reverse features a magnified view of a stellar dendrite ice crystal captured by Canadian photographer Don Komarechka and intricately reproduced by Royal Canadian Mint engravers. The coin’s reverse proof finish directs light onto the six frosted, fern-like branches or arms, while the clear crystal at the centre adds a touch of winter’s sparkle. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign. A first for the Royal Canadian Mint, this hexagon coin introduces a six-sided shape that perfectly complements the six-sided snow crystal engraved on its reverse. At the centre of this snowflake lies an exquisite clear crystal that sparkles in the light-the effect is reminiscent of snow sparkle, caused by sunlight reflecting off snow crystals on a beautiful winter day. The coin comes packaged in an innovative new graphic paperboard case that also holds the certificate of authenticity. An insert allows you to easily display your encapsulated coin. Each crafted in 1 oz. Of 99.99% pure silver, only 8,500 coins are available to collectors worldwide. Packaging: The coin is encapsulated and presented in a newly developed, Royal Canadian Mint-branded, graphic paperboard case that also holds the certificate of authenticity.

Anticipation builds as the sky turns grey-and finally releases the season’s first snowfall. A cascade of crystalline stars drifts down to earth in the hush of winter’s still crisp air; it will take a million of them to cover 60 square centimetres of ground with 25 cm of snow. Snowflakes are born high in the atmosphere. They start out as tiny molecules of water vapour that freeze around particles in the air. As they fall, they stick to each other and grow larger, shaped by the wind, moisture and temperature. Each snowflake follows a different path and is affected by the elements in different ways. As a result, no two snowflakes are exactly alike-each one boasts a beauty and design all its own. This stunning coin captures the sparkle and allure of one of nature’s most transient beauties, freezing it in time for you to enjoy all year round. Delicate snowflakes reveal the infinite diversity of crystalline sculptures that fill the air during a snowfall. An emerald Swarovski Element marks the heart of the gorgeous snowflake design, its six delicate arms studded with clear oblong Swarovski Elements. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The Silver Coin comes encapsulated in Royal Canadian Mint maroon clamshell case, black box and Certificate of Authenticity. Product by: Royal Canadian Mint.

Anyone who has ever had the good fortune to catch a snowflake on their glove knows that its intricate shape can take your breath away. As water vapour freezes within a cloud, temperature, wind and humidity will influence the size and shape of the ice crystals that fall to the ground. Sometimes they will clump together to form large, wet flakes. Or, they’ll fall as dry, powdery snow. But if the conditions are just right and the ice crystals can grow large and drift gently earthward without clumping together, the result is a flurry of endless masterpieces – those elaborate star-shaped flakes. The unassuming snowflake yields significant influence wherever it falls. It defines Canada’s geography, wildlife, environment and economy, demanding significant research efforts to understand how snow and ice work – and how to function within the challenging conditions they create. With so much of its activity dependent upon and shaped by winter’s frozen marvels, Canada has become known internationally for its scientific contributions to snow and ice research, such as the world’s most accurate gauge for recording snowfall and automated sensors that measure snow accumulation and melt on major glaciers and ice sheets. Yet, despite the science, Canada’s love of the simple snowflake prevails. Royal Canadian Mint Engraver Konrad Wachelko has recreated a six-sided dendrite ice crystal, often referred to by many as a snowflake. There are two coins available which are both made with Crystallized – Swarovski Elements overlaying the’snowflake’ with either six aquamarine or six iridescent crystals and one central clear crystal.
