$2011 $20 Crystal Snowflake Emerald Coin

Each winter since 2007, the Royal Canadian Mint has produced a $20 Crystal Snowflake coin with an embedded coloured Swarovski crystal. This has been an extremely popular series, with every issue to date selling out, and some coins now selling in the secondary market have reached values significantly above their original issue price. The 2011 Crystal Snowflake has a double-struck frosted cameo proof finish—the highest quality possible. It is also struck in the highest-quality .9999 fine silver, and weighs just over one ounce. This coin issued for winter 2011–2012 features an embedded round emerald-coloured centre Swarovski crystal, encircled by six marquise-cut white Swarovski crystals.
