WORLD'S FIRST! First coin in the world enhanced with a drusy stone! Order yours today! The sparkle of drusy stone conjures many delightful images: fresh powder snow, sweet sugar, and stardust. It is a natural crystal that forms on mineral surfaces, most commonly on quartz and agate. Usually found inside geodes or in larger mineral deposits, it has become a highly coveted semi-precious stone popular among jewellers. Its appeal lies primarily in its stunning sugar-like surfaceâthe result of thousands of tiny faceted crystals on the surface of the stone. But quartz colours like the soft tone of the stone on this coin are rare and highly valued by jewellers and collectors. A beautiful gift for someone who enjoys coins that are unique! Order yours today! Special features: WORLD'S FIRST! Never before has a drusy stone embellishment been included on a coin. Highly sought after in the jewellery market, crystal-encrusted drusy stone makes its global coin debut at the Royal Canadian Mint. EACH COIN IS UNIQUE! Only a very small portion of fine drusy quartz has the rich tones selected for your coinâeach is unique! The stone is set within a striking Art Nouveau-inspired design captured in painstaking detail with exquisite engraving and shading.

About the Design: Designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco, your coin features a central maple leaf shaped drusy stone set within a circle of engraved maple leaves.
