The use of paint over engraving adds a life-like quality to the branch and leaves of a mountain maple (Acer spicatum). With its saw-toothed edges, the leaf looms large in the background, allowing for a size comparison of the coloured Venetian glass element that beautifully recreates the colours and likeness of a snail with its spiral shell. No two glass pieces are alike—each one is unique and handcrafted by master glassmaker Giuliano Donaggio of Murano, Italy which makes each coin a “little” masterpiece in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176336621700,"sku":"150905","price":236.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2016_20_Fine_Silver_Coin_Little_Creatures_Snail_Rev__39311.1503026183.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759536447","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2016-20-fine-silver-coin-little-creatures-snail-venetian-glass","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
