$20 Fine Silver Coin Brilliant Birch Leaves with Drusy Stone

This colourful, $20 proof fine silver coin features a crystal-encrusted bright-green drusy stone, recalling the glorious forest canopy at the height of summer. Designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco, the coin features a cluster of birch leaves with a sparkling drusy leaf emerging from the engraved silver cluster, seeming to burst out of the image alongside a clutch of catkins. The image is encircled by an ornate Art Nouveau–style frame of curled branches and stylized foliate shapes. Variations in finishing work with intricate engraving to give the design depth and texture. The reverse is engraved with the face value of "20 dollars" and the date "2017." The obverse features "Canada" and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
