The butterfly, engraved and painted in full glorious colour, is viewed from its right side. The viewer is presented with a lovely view of the Red-Spotted Purple’s under-wing. Here we see the characteristic dark purple-black colouring, with some of the blue iridescence that characterizes most of the upper side of the delicate wing. The light blue-white markings around the wing contrast prettily with the bright red spots that give this butterfly its name. The butterfly stands on top of an engraved Black-Eyed Susan flower, drinking nectar from the flower’s center.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176157577348,"sku":"130556","price":207.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/20_Butterfly_Reverse__85343.1403649504.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759521984","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2014-20-fine-silver-coin-butterflies-of-canada-red-spotted-purple","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
