Product Description
The Dragonfly And The Bloom 2024 $50 5 oz Fine Silver Proof Coin – Royal Canadian Mint
There’s something magical about seeing dragonflies hovering and darting through the air on a summer day—and that’s exactly what the dragonfly is doing on this 2024 movement coin from the Royal Canadian Mint. On the coin’s reverse, the 3D dragonfly and water lily are each cast in sterling silver and plated with yellow gold, evoking the sun’s warm rays. Tilt the coin and watch as the dragonfly moves around the bloom, which is fully open to reveal the water-like sparkle of a clear crystal—another feature that speaks to the enchantment of a light-filled summer day!
The Design:
Designed by RCM Engraver Ryan Poser, your coin’s reverse captures the light and magic of a summer day in a peaceful aquatic setting. A white water lily (Nymphaea odorata) blooms above engraved leaves (or pads) that lie flat on the mirror-like water surface, where gentle ripples disrupt the stillness of the scene. Surrounded by rows of petals and stamens, a clear crystal sparkles like a drop of water at the centre of the water lily, while a common whitetail dragonfly (Plathemis lydia) is on the hunt and hovers above the flower’s edge. The water lily and the dragonfly are each cast in sterling silver and plated in yellow gold; when the coin is tipped, the motion causes the dragonfly to circle around the bloom. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
