Design: The coin designed by Canadian artist Joel Kimmel, your coin offers a touching celebration of love through the elegant combination of detailed engraving, multiple finishes, selective colour, and a dazzling Swarovski® branded crystal. Two monarch butterflies represent two souls who have found one another, with each one enhanced by the application of colour that recreates their black and orange wings. The butterflies gaze at each other from atop a 6-millimetre, heart-shaped Swarovski® branded crystal. The crystal itself is symbolic of the nature of love—not just for its shape but also for its sparkling light effect, which brightens the two in love. Both the crystal and the butterflies rise up from a large engraved coneflower (Echinacea), and are surrounded by butterfly bushes, coneflower blooms, and other butterflies in the background—including a distant tiger swallowtail butterfly on the right.

Packaging: The coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian maroon clamshell case. It is protected by a custom box.
