Description
DESCRIPTION:
The Royal Canadian Mint’s Snowflake series continues with another exquisite snowflake shape dotted with a sparkling crystal. This second hexagon coin features a magnified view of another classic stellar dendrite, which is the most common type of snow crystal, but each star-shaped form varies according to atmospheric conditions. Re-created in 99.99% pure silver, this particular snow crystal, which would have formed at temperatures around -15 degrees Celsius, is elaborately ornamented with distinct markings on a hexagonal motif that provide the illusion of symmetry, while the ice-blue crystal at its centre evokes the crisp winter sparkle of freshly fallen snow.
