Buzzing loudly from flower to flower, the hard-working bee is a
true gem in our gardens and fields. This pollinating wonder gets the
royal treatment on this coin as a rhodium and gold-plated adornment,
which sits atop an elaborately engraved floral pattern. Gemstones
(black sapphire, citrine, and white topaz) recreate the bee's yellow
and gold bands and add a bright sparkle to its wings—like a splash
of summer sunshine in the palm of your hand.

Designed by Canadian artist Jori van der Linde, the coin is a beautifully
stylized portrait of a bee against a decorative floral backdrop. Inspired
by tulip blooms and curly pea vines, a contemporary floral pattern
provides a whimsical garden setting that includes flowers, leaves and
curly flourishes.
All are meticulously engraved and crisply defined in a stunning proof
finish, which enhances the sparkle of the rhodium-plated bee on the
coin's surface.
The jewelery-like piece is adorned with a captivating
array of semi-precious and precious gemstones, including: round black
sapphire on its head, thorax and abdomen; citrine stones arranged over
gold plating to re-create the bee's characteristic yellow markings; and
an array of white topaz that fills the delicate wings and gives them a
colorless twinkle, to mimic the luminous effect of sunlight.
