Extremely fine detailing enhanced with glittering blue enamel on a proof finish gives the snowflake a deeply layered look. One can easily imagine a hexagon-shaped ice crystal falling through the clouds, growing ever larger and more complex as it encounters changes in temperature and humidity that affect the shape and size of its "arms."
The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
The Silver Coin comes encapsulated in Royal Canadian Mint maroon clamshell case, black box and Certificate of Authenticity.
