Description
Canada: 2025 $20 Nature's Delight: Honey Bee 1 oz Pure Silver Coin
Design: Inspired by daisies and black-eyed Susans, the centre of a stylized flower serves as a landing pad for a busy honey bee (Apis mellifera) in this reverse design by Canadian artist June Steube. The bee’s central position reflects its importance as a pollinator, while the overhead view allows for a more stylized representation of its wing pattern. The honeycomb in the background is visible between the flower petals, its hexagonal cells mirroring the coin’s six-sided shape. Both the bee and the honeycomb, as well as the rim on both sides, are plated with yellow gold. The obverse features the gold-plated effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
