- The follow-up to 2025’s Murano Monarch. Crafted in ½ kg of 99.99% pure silver, this is our second half-kilo coin featuring selective gold plating on the botanical art styled reverse and a handcrafted Murano butterfly.
- Art card included. Your coin comes with an art card featuring a colour reproduction of the original watercolour painting that inspired the reverse design. The art card comes in a 5” x 7” (12.7 cm x 17.8 cm) photo format and printed on cream-coloured art paper that will look beautiful in a frame (not included).
- Comes with a second certificate. An additional certificate of authenticity certifies that your butterfly is genuine Murano glass and was crafted by master glassmaker Vio Col Vetro in Murano, Italy.
- Selective gold plating. The rim, the effigy on the obverse, and the two butterflies engraved on the reverse are all plated with gold, creating a beautiful contrast with the silver field.
- Very low mintage. Only 800 coins are available to collectors worldwide.
- Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
Packaging
For a more memorable viewing experience, and to complement the botanical theme, your coin comes enclosed in a taller dome capsule shaped to resemble a glass cloche with base. Presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded wood case with a black beauty box, your coin is accompanied by the usual certificate of authenticity from the Royal Canadian Mint, and another from Vio Col Vetro certifying that your exquisite butterfly was handcrafted in Murano, Italy. Also included: a colourful art card with a reproduction of the original watercolour painting.
