2010 $300 Crystal Snowflake Gold Coin

The reverse of this breathtaking 14-karat Gold Crystal Snowflake coin is overlaid with six beautiful Swarovski crystals to enhance the glittering qualities of the delicate snowflake.

Snowflakes are tiny ice crystals come in countless shapes and sizes. If the weather is very cold, the snowflakes will fall as "dry" powder. Or they may form slender columns that look like tiny wooden pencils under a microscope. But snowflake seekers can be treated to the iconic star shape that can be seen when the conditions are just right. Windless conditions and -15°C (5°F) temperatures mean every ice crystal can grow large and drift gently earthward without hitting any other crystals to form its six-sided shape.
