The butterfly, engraved and painted in full glorious colour, is viewed from its right side. The viewer is presented with a lovely view of the Red-Spotted Purple's under-wing. Here we see the characteristic dark purple-black colouring, with some of the blue iridescence that characterizes most of the upper side of the delicate wing. The light blue-white markings around the wing contrast prettily with the bright red spots that give this butterfly its name. The butterfly stands on top of an engraved Black-Eyed Susan flower, drinking nectar from the flower's center. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItem Number: 130556 \u003cbr\u003eComposition: 99.99% pure Silver \u003cbr\u003eMintage: 10,000 \u003cbr\u003eWeight (g): 31.83 \u003cbr\u003eDiameter (mm): 40 \u003cbr\u003eFace Value: $20 \u003cbr\u003eFinish: Proof \u003cbr\u003eEdge: Serrated \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecial Features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- This painted and engraved 99.99% pure silver coin highlights the intense coloration of the Red-Spotted Purple butterfly. \u003cbr\u003e- Celebrate the life and habits of a beloved Canadian insect species, beautifully engraved and painted, with a slight shimmer effect to further enhance its beauty. \u003cbr\u003e- A low mintage of 10,000 coins means that this edition is sure to be sought after by collectors. \u003cbr\u003e- A lovely addition to any collection featuring fine artwork, natural images, native species of Canada, butterflies and other insect species, or Canadiana. \u003cbr\u003e- A thoughtful and valuable gift for nature lovers and art aficionados. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackaging: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaroon clamshell with custom Lenticular beauty box\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49223604732193,"sku":"RDC-0197-130556","price":141.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/130556-2.jpg?v=1719642424","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/rdc-2014-20-butterflies-of-canada-red-spotted-purple-no-tax-impaired","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
