2020 Canada $5 Birthstones: July Fine Silver Coin

2020 Canada $5 Birthstones: July Fine Silver Coin

With its bold red colour, a ruby easily stands out and instantly stirs the imagination. The traditional birthstone for July is a symbol of zeal and passion. It is traditionally believed to offer fortune and beauty. Flanked by three smaller Swarovski® crystals and surrounded by a Celtic art-inspired design, the colourful Swarovski® crystal at the centre is a token of good fortune—not just in your birthday month, but for the whole year.
