2017 Canada $20 Under the Sea - Sea Star Fine Silver Coin

Beneath the ocean waves lies a hidden realm filled with enchantment and wonders of all shapes and sizes. Chief among them is the sea star - this salt-water dweller's distinctive appearance makes it easily recognized in rocky tidal pools and beaches along Canada's vast coastline; on the reverse of this fine silver coin, it is the "star" element in a design that features stunning colour, detailed engraving and beautifully sculpted glass embellishments.

Special Features:
• SECOND of three 99.99% pure silver coins in a NEW series featuring some of the marvels found in Canadian waters!
• Each coin features a mosaic murrini element! Here, the sea star-shaped glass element is the result of a painstaking process in which different colours of glass rods (stingers) are layered and fused together to form a colourful mosaic that reveals the final image when sliced.
• The handcrafted nature of both the murrini element and its glass enclosure make each coin unique.
• Despite its delicate appearance, the glass embellishment is made from borosilicate glass, which is highly resilient yet lightweight.
• In the background, the coin's silver surface is artfully integrated to create the illusion of water, while the eye-catching coloured enamel adds vibrancy to the engraved design.
• As with previous glass-embellished coins, the artistry, craftsmanship and limited mintage are sure to make this a highly valued and sought-after collectible!

Packaging:
Maroon clamshell with black beauty box
