Canada: 2017 $3 Zodiac Series: Cancer Silver Coin

Finish: Proof

Mintage: 5500

Design: The coin showcases an eye-catching combination of colour and engraving that results in a beautifully artistic rendition of the zodiac. Like the stars and planets in the sky, a clear Swarovski® crystal embellishment is in alignment with the traditional glyph representing a crab’s rounded shape and claws—the zodiac symbol for Cancer (June 21–July 22). At the centre is a larger Swarovski crystal embellishment; its amber colour also represents those born under the Water sign known for tenacity, sympathy, imagination and persuasiveness. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Packaging: The coins are encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian maroon clamshell case. It is protected by a black beauty box.
