Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2017 Canadian $20 Elizabeth II (Butterfly) silver coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a butterfly perched on a flower. The butterfly is depicted in flight, with its wings spread wide, and the flower is detailed with intricate textures and colors. This design is particularly notable because it was created using a combination of traditional engraving techniques and cutting-edge technology, resulting in a visually striking and highly detailed image. Additionally, the coin's high silver content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
