$20 Murano Beetle, 2017
This coin's reverse design is punctuated by a shimmering Venetian glass beetle that was handcrafted by master glassmaker Giuliano Donaggio in Murano, Italy. The glass beetle is poised on a coloured design by Canadian artist Maurice Gervais that features the leaves and pink, bell-shaped flowers of the dogbane plant, one of the beetle's preferred food sources.

$3 Monarch Caterpillar, 2014
This coin image features a beautifully detailed side profile of a monarch caterpillar. Selective colour application showcases the caterpillar's bright yellow, black and white stripes as it crawls along a bright green milkweed leaf, a plant that plays an integral part in the monarch's early life cycles. A large chrysalis is engraved in the background as a reminder of the monarch's next stage of life, at which time it will enclose itself during its metamorphosis into one of Canada's most recognizable butterflies.
