The Coin Company is proud to present 2025 $125 Fine Silver Coin Murano Monarch Butterfly by the Royal Canadian Mint.
A monarch butterfly’s orange-and-black colouration and stained-glass-like wings never fail to catch the eye as it flits by on the breeze, nature’s own fluttering work of art. The monarch butterfly on this half-kilo coin is also impossible to miss: it is the biggest Murano glass butterfly to be featured on a coin from the Royal Canadian Mint. Authentically sourced from Murano, Italy, where master glassmakers honour a centuries-old process that produces the colours and complexity for which Murano glass is renowned, each of these colourful glassworks is handcrafted – and no two Murano monarchs are alike. It is truly unique to your selectively gold-plated coin, which, from start to finish, celebrates art in its many forms – from the original watercolour painting that the design is based on (as seen on the accompanying art card), to the delicate butterfly that is sure to inspire.
KEY FEATURES
- Each Murano glass butterfly has been meticulously handcrafted, and no two pieces are exactly alike.
- The accompanying art card features a colour reproduction of the watercolour painting that inspired the coin’s reverse.
- Encapsulated in a new, cloche-like capsule that complements the botanical theme and makes for a memorable presentation.
- An additional certificate of authenticity certifies that each butterfly is genuine Murano glass crafted by master glassmaker Vio Col Vetro.
