Design: The coins design showcases the open blossom of a beautiful Blue Flag Iris. The soft mauve-blue inner petals of this Iris versicolor specimen reach skyward, while its intricately patterned outer petals bow gracefully toward the ground. Each of the three visible sepals, dark-veined indigo at their outer edges with a feathery pattern of soft blue where they meet the petals, is dotted with a sparkling Swarovski crystal “dew drop” element. The bloom sits atop its bright green stem, a closed bud poised just beneath it. It was designed by Candian artist Celia Godkin.

Packging: The coin comes encapsulated and presented in a maroon flock-lined clamshell case. It is protected by a black sleeve and accompanied by a serialized certificate of authenticity.
