| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by artist Pandora Young, presents a stylized geometric pattern inspired by the Celtic triskele and arranged according to a base-six mathematical system. Three radiating, interlocking spiral arms emanate from a central point, rendered in a precise engraved line technique that creates a sense of rotational symmetry and visual depth. The design incorporates three clear Swarovski crystal elements positioned within the composition to represent the ruby birthstone of July, with a fourth crystal set at the centre of the coin. The artist's initials PY appear as the sole lettering on the reverse field. The coin is issued as part of the Royal Canadian Mint's birthstone series. |
