All coins offered in this listing are unsearched! (see ‘Additional Information’ below) All of our Canadian coins are acquired directly from the Royal Canadian Mint - The counterfeiting of numismatic coins, and the sale of stolen coins, are serious problems for coin collectors and dealers.

Diameter (mm) - 38 Edge - serrated Certificate - serialized (serial numbers will vary) Face value - 20-dollars (a legal tender Canadian coin) Artists - Maurice Gervais (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse) Description This exquisite coin is the fifth in the Royal Canadian Mint’s sought-after series: Canadian flora paired with fauna. This coin presents an engraved and colored design along with a unique one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted Venetian glass element created by a master glass-maker in Murano, Italy. Special features: This Royal Canadian Mint Coin is the fifth coin in a series that pairs engraved and painted flowers with a beautiful detailed rendering of a creature that is native to Canada’s natural landscape. The Venetian glass turtle was handcrafted by master glassmaker Giuliano Donaggio in Murano, Italy. Murano glass is world renowned for its vibrant colors - perfectly suited to recreate the painted turtle’s own unique coloring. A special addition to any nature or canadiana themed collection. The design is finely engraved and meticulously presented in a beautiful proof finish (frosted raised elements on a mirror background). For our Canadian customers, this coin is GST/HST exempt. About the Design: The reverse design by Canadian artist Maurice Gervais uses color to recreate the leaves and white flowers of the broadleaf arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia), which fills the lower portion of the image field. A floating log serves as the perfect sunbathing platform for a Venetian glass version of a painted turtle. This unique design element has been handcrafted by master glass-maker Giuliano Donaggio in Murano, Italy. Packaging: Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box. All of our Canadian coins are stored in a climate controlled, smoke-free vault.

Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. Our goal is to provide clear, high definition photos that accurately represent the coin(s) offered in each of our eBay listings. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just “artist’s conception” drawings from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
