There’s 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 from the Royal Canadian Mint. On the 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. Tilt the coin and watch as the dragonfly moves around the bloom, which is fully open to reveal the water-like sparkle of a clear crystal—another feature that speaks to the enchantment of a light-filled summer day!

New for 2024. A clear crystal lies at the centre of the bloom, where it reflects light like a water droplet on a sunny day.

KEY FEAUTURES:

• Crafted in 5 oz. of 99.99% pure silver.
• Tilt the coin and watch as the gravity-activated dragonfly circles around the water lily.
• Both elements are cast in sterling silver (92.5% pure) and plated with yellow gold, but there’s a subtle difference between them: the inward curve of the flower petals changes the way the light reflects off the surface, while the gleam is unobstructed on the dragonfly.
• Presented on an elegant wooden base and protected by a clear dome that provides an unobstructed view of the interactive design.

2024 $50 Fine Silver Coin - The Dragonfly and the Bloom has a limited mintage of 1,250 coins.
