Reverse

The motif on the reverse, by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan, illustrates a peaceful moment in nature that invites contemplation and inspires pride. In the center, a gleaming drusic stone in the shape of a maple leaf immediately catches the eye. Carried by the autumn breeze, this leaf has settled on the ground, surrounded by its engraved counterparts on rocks of various sizes. Covered in crystals, the stone sparkles in the natural light, while in the background, no detail goes unnoticed thanks to the application of multiple finishes. Also engraved on the reverse are the words "CANADA" and the vintage "2017". Automatically translated

Comment

The brilliance of drusic stone evokes so many pleasing images, such as powder, sugar and stardust. This natural crystal forms on the surface of minerals, usually quartz and agate. Drusic stone, usually found inside geodes or larger mineral deposits, has become a highly sought-after semi-precious stone, popular with jewellers. Its appeal lies above all in its astonishing sugar-like texture - an effect created by the thousands of tiny faceted crystals present on the stone's surface. Quartz with the soft color of the stone adorning this piece is rare and highly prized by jewelers and collectors alike.

Packaging

L'éclat de la pierre drusique évoque autant d'images agréables, telles la poudreuse, le sucre et la poussière d'étoiles. Ce cristal naturel se forme à la surface de minéraux, généralement le quartz et l'agate. La pierre drusique, que l'on trouve habituellement à l'intérieur de géodes ou de plus grands gisements minéraux, est devenue une pierre semi-précieuse très recherchée, populaire auprès des joaillers. Son attrait réside surtout dans sa texture étonnante qui rappelle celle du sucre − un effet créé par les milliers de minuscules cristaux facettés présents à la surface de la pierre. Les quartz possédant la couleur tendre de la pierre qui orne cette pièce sont rares et très prisés des joaillers et des collectionneurs.

Emballage
La pièce est encapsulée et présentée dans un boîtier à double coque bordeaux orné du logo de la Monnaie royale canadienne. Le boîtier est assorti d’une boîte protectrice noire.
