| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate and intricately engraved composition celebrating five Ideal Cut diamonds of Canadian origin, each graded by the De Beers Institute of Diamonds and representing a distinct cut: square, round, oval, cushion, and heart. The five principal diamonds, each weighing 0.6 carats, are physically set at the centre of the coin within a 24-karat gold embellishment crafted by Beverly Hills Jewellers, with each stone further surrounded by approximately 0.4 carats of decorative accent diamonds, bringing the total carat weight to 3.4 carats. Surrounding the central gem-set mount, the engraved field features an amalgamation of design elements drawn from previous issues in the Purely Brilliant series, each motif inspired by the optical and geometric properties of the individual diamond cuts. The overall composition combines the jeweller's craft with the die-engraver's art, resulting in a coin that functions simultaneously as a numismatic collectible and a fine jewellery piece. |
