Reverse description
The engraved design by Canadian artist Anna Bucciarelli features a selectively gold-plated arrangement of irises, peonies and acanthus leaves. The patented Dancing Diamond™ mount allows for a Canadian-sourced FIRE AND ICE™ diamond to be set within an open circle at the centre of the coin, where it catches the light with every movement. This diamond centrepiece is nestled among gold-plated peony stamens and surrounded by spring-themed filigree details, such as butterflies and flowers.
