Royal Canadian Mint - Designed by Canadian artist Margaret Best, your coin pairs a technological first with highly detailed engraving. The clustered stalks, leaves and flowers of pearl yarrow rise up from the right side of the coin to fill most of the reverse. Bees and flies are key pollinators for this species, and are represented here by the two engraved bees approaching from the left; however, the eye is naturally drawn to the three floral-shaped embellishments that re-create the pom-pom type of flowers. Each one is crafted from mother-of-pearl, which lends itself beautifully to re-creating the snow-white double blooms. The pearl lustre also mimics the sun's illuminating effect, and subtly highlights the layered complexity of the daisy-like petals that have been so carefully sculpted.

Call me a sucker...

I told myself that I wouldn't order any more one-off RCM coins, and while this coin caught my eye upon release, I stuck to my guns and "passed".

Made it to my local post office today, and they had this one on display. Caught my attention above all other releases this month.

For me, I love how "plain" this coin is. No color. Sharp contrast between background and foreground. Nice 3D effect with the flowers. I honestly think this one was executed better than most of the "little creatures" series. Fingers crossed for a potential 2nd coin or mini-series.

I'll probably be kicking myself in 6 months when this coin is 25% off, but I really like the execution here. A+ RCM.

Glad you found a coin that makes you happy! It's always nice to see the coins in hand before making a purchase - it eliminates mis-matched expectations.

Very nice coin indeed but I passed on buying simply because no graphic sleeve was offered. With a beauty of a coin such as this the black sleeve is a turn off. I keep telling RCM to step up their packaging like all world mints. No one is listening at RCM.
