The design of your coin is a stunning close-up view of a six-sided dendrite ice crystal as captured by Canadian photographer Don Komarechka, and painstakingly reproduced by Royal Canadian Mint master engravers. Extremely fine detailing enhanced with glittering blue enamel on a proof finish gives the snowflake a deeply layered look. One can easily imagine a hexagon-shaped ice crystal falling through the clouds, growing ever larger and more complex as it encounters changes in temperature and humidity that affect the shape and size of its "arms."

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
