2006 Canada $300 Swarovski Crystal Snowflake 14kt Gold

2006 Canada $300 Swaroski Crystal Snowflake 14K Pure Gold Coin

Christmas is right across the corner and if you're looking for a unique gift that is sure to impress; then this $300 Swarovski Crystal Snowflake 14KT Gold coin released by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2006 is perfect. There is something magical about the beauty of a snowflake and this coin celebrates Canada's relationship with this winter wonder. Canada is also known for its exceptional scientific contributions to snow and ice research like the world's most accurate guage that records snowfalls, and we know we see plenty of those across the country.

Aside from its beautiful design of six-sided dendrite ice crystal that's created by Royal Canadian Mint engraver Konrad Wachelko, it includes six overlaid Swarovski crystals which take your breath away.
