Crystal Birthstones – Pure Silver Coin made with Swarovski® June (2016)

Description A deeply meaningful gift for any occasion to let someone know how much you treasure them! The pearl is renowned for its beauty and shimmering hints of colour. It’s the ultimate symbol of purity, balance and joy, and is irresistible on this exotic and distinctive coin that also features a powerful and lucky dragon set against a backdrop of delicately engraved lotus blossoms. The engraved elements are beautifully rendered in fine detail to create a collectible piece of art that holds a timeless appeal. -A traditional symbol of power and strength, the intricately engraved dragon is positioned over a lotus pattern to symbolize purity of the heart and mind, while the crystal adds the unique virtues it represents. The reverse design by Three Degrees Creative Group is both visually compelling and richly symbolic, with a thoughtful melding of traditional and contemporary design elements. In the background, a beautifully engraved lotus pattern fills the reverse in a modern take on the blooms that traditionally symbolize purity of the heart and mind. A majestic, mid-relief dragon is brought to life through intricate engraving that recreates it in extraordinary detail; its presence also carries a strong meaning, as the dragon is a time-honored symbol of power, strength and good luck in Asian mythology. Above it, a traditional circular motif bears a Swarovski® crystal embellishment that represents a pearl, the birthstone for June, which is said to bring balance and joy to those born in the month. Historically, pearls were very popular during the Roman Empire and during the 1500s in Tudor England. – They are the only gems created by living sea creatures. – These days, cultured pearls have almost replaced natural pearls in the gem market. The sophisticated pearl is highly prized for its natural beauty and shimmering colour, which have made it a traditional symbol of wealth and social standing. To those born in June, the pearl is an elegant symbol of purity, balance and joy. Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
