2025 $20 Fine Silver Sundial Coin

This innovative and attractive 2025 $20 fine silver coin features humanity's oldest known timekeeping device, one that functions just as well today as it did in ancient times. An elaborate and functional showcase of craftsmanship, this limited collectible adds a working sundial to your coin collection. Its embellishment is a rhodium-plated brass gnomon that, when placed in view of the sun and in the direction of true north, casts an angled shadow onto the elaborately engraved 99.99 percent pure silver base to indicate local solar time.

This sundial is appropriate for mid-northern latitudes. Place it on a flat surface in direct sunlight and with the gnomon pointing north, then take note of where the shadow's outer edge lines up—that should indicate the approximate local solar time. (Like any sundial, some additional adjustments may be required.)

Serving as the base, the background design for the sundial is ornamented with acanthus leaves and edged with Roman numerals indicating the hours from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. At the bottom, a stylized sunflower—a heliotropic flower and a beloved symbol of the sun—supports the gnomon, which harnesses the power of sunlight and casts the measured shadow that helps determine the time of day.

The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
