2007 $20 Sterling Silver Coin Iridescent Crystal Snowflake

With so much of its activity dependent upon and shaped by winter's frozen marvels, Canada has become known internationally for its scientific contributions to snow and ice research, such as the world's most accurate gauge for recording snowfall, and automated sensors that measure snow accumulation and melt on major glaciers and ice sheets. Canada's love of the simple snowflake is reflected in this sterling-silver coin, which depicts these six-sided dendrite ice crystals delicately encrusted with crystallized Swarovski elements.
