Where light meets luxury: A platinum and yellow diamond Opulence exclusive. Order today!

In nature, the Canada lily brightens its surroundings with its vibrant yellow petals; on Brilliance, the bejewelled bloom serves as the most exquisite emblem of nature’s luminous beauty and resilience.

Adorned with 23 Canadian-sourced fancy yellow diamonds that are among Earth’s rarest gems, the 2025 platinum addition to the Royal Canadian Mint’s prestigious Opulence collection is an extraordinary work of art that shimmers with the glow of scarcity and elegance. Each precision-cut to maximize sparkle, the yellow diamonds’ golden fire is set against a refined fusion of precious metals, with the cool sophistication of platinum warmed by selective touches of gold plating. Together, these rare elements form a striking harmony of light and luxury, transforming the design’s dazzling floral energy into an incomparable visual experience that commands admiration from every angle.

Clarity. Elegance. Brilliance.

The yellow diamonds on this coin come from the Ekati Diamond Mine, Canada’s first surface and underground diamond mine, owned and operated by Burgundy Diamond Mines. Located in the Northwest Territories, the mine is primarily known for its production of high-quality white diamonds, with the rarer yellow diamonds accounting for just 2% of its total yield. Globally, yellow diamonds make up less than 1% of all diamonds mined worldwide.

Designed by Canadian artists Chris Reid and Rosina Li, the coin’s engraved reverse celebrates the Canada lily (Lilium canadense) and is adorned with 14 pear cut and nine round cut fancy yellow diamonds (minimum total carat weight of 6.13) set in 18-karat gold mounts. Seven of those diamonds form the bejewelled centre of the largest lily, which is surrounded by eight additional jewelled appliqués and engraved elements that, together, show the lily in various stages of growth. A line-art representation of this arrangement appears on the obverse, which features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
