3320) Dragonflies Flit Across Coin Design: The Dragonfly and the Bloom (Water Lily): The Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) has issued a Silver $50 (Fifty Dollars - CAN) Coin: Date/Year of Coin issue: 27.08.2024:

The Royal Canadian Mint has released a limited mintage new coin featuring a dragonfly flying around a water lily.

This 2024 new release from the Royal Canadian Mint features a a 3-D dragonfly and lily. Not only is the lily coming out of the coin, but the dragonfly can move around the flower with the tilt of the coin. 

A summer day beside the water, watching the dragonflies flit about, zigzagging through the air, is a serene scene many are familiar with.

There is something magical about seeing dragonflies hovering and darting through the air on a summer day—and that’s exactly what the dragonfly is doing on this 2024 movement coin.  

The silver coin is large, with a diameter of 65.25 mm, but its size immerses the viewer in the scene. 

A crystal is embedded in the center of the bloom, shining like a droplet of water. 

The dragonfly and lily are sterling silver with gold plating as if the golden sun is reflecting off them on a bright summer day. 

The coin's mirror-like surface, which reflects the dragonfly flying above it, adds to its charm.

The mintage is limited, only 1,250 coins. The 50-dollar coin comes in a package with a wooden base and a clear dome cover, allowing the viewer to display and interact with the coin.

The Silver Coin:

Onthe Coin’s Reverse, the 3D dragonfly and water lily are each cast in sterling silver and plated with yellow gold, evoking the sun’s warm rays. 

Once the Coin is tilted one can watch as the dragonfly moves around the bloom, which is fully okpen to reveal the water-like sparkle of a clear crystal—another feature that speaks to the enchantment of a light-filled summer day.
