Description

Three "dewdrops" glitter from the beautiful red trillium on this coin.  Its name comes from the Greek word tris which means "thrice," and describes the flower's three petals, three sepals, and three leaves.

The petals are a rich, deep red and form one of nature's most distinctive blooms – both breathtaking and unforgettable in its simplicity.  Trillium erectum is native to northeastern North America, and was once common throughout the deciduous forests of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, but over-picking and development have made it increasingly rare.

In spring, each plant produces a single flower, and picking it can be fatal, or hinder the plant's ability to bloom for several years.  The red trillium is a slow-growing plant that can live for 30 years, but may take as many as 15 years to bloom.  This stunning coin delivers a crystal-enhanced flower to enthrall admirers for generations to come.

Like every coin in this highly collectible series, this colored 99.99% pure silver coin is highlighted with three sparkling Swarovski Elements, representing morning dew drops on this beautiful wildflower.

Special features:

·        This striking colored coin dotted with 3 Swarovski crystal elements captures the glory of spring's early-flowering Trillium erectum - the lovely red trillium.

·        Incredible artistry: the full-color original artwork by Canadian artist Margaret Best is engraved and finished with exceptional craftsmanship by Royal Canadian Mint engravers.

·        Striking engraving and beautiful color bring to life every detail of this rich burgundy-red flower on its delicate green stem, set against a distinctive whorl of three grass-green leaves.

·        An excellent addition to any nature-focused, floral, or Canadiana collection.

·        99.99% pure silver.

Design:

This coin features a bright burgundy red trillium bloom where three ruddy petals sit atop three red-lined green sepals.  From the center of the flower, there rise six pink stamens and three short stigmas.  Viewed from the front and slightly above, the flower is perched on a bowing, delicate green stem above the characteristic whorl of three leaf-like bracts borne by all trilliums.  Each petal of the flower is adorned with a sparkling crystal-colored Swarovski element.

Packaging:

Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clam-shell with a black beauty box.
