In combining the beauty and simplicity of multiple Swarovski Crystals with its unique colorization process, the Royal Canadian Mint has produced Red Trillium blossom bejeweled with not one, but three, Swarovski Crystal dewdrops, with a second technology, the Mint's proprietary colorization!

Three "dewdrops" glitter from the beautiful red trillium on this coin. Its name comes from the Greek word tris which means "thrice", and describes the flower's three petals, three sepals and three leaves. The petals are a rich, deep red and form one of nature's most distinctive blooms that is breathtaking and unforgettable in its simplicity. Trillium erectum is native to northeastern North America, and was once common throughout the deciduous forests of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, but overpicking and development have made it increasingly rare.

Incredible artistry: the full-colour original artwork by Canadian artist Margaret Best is engraved and finished with exceptional craftsmanship by Royal Canadian Mint engravers.

This coin features a bright burgundy red trillium bloom where three ruddy petals sit atop three red-lined green sepals. From the centre of the flower rise six pink stamens and three short stigmas. Viewed from the front and slightly above, the flower is perched on a bowing, delicate green stem above the characteristic whorl of three leaf-like bracts borne by all trilliums. Each petal of the flower is adorned with a sparkling crystal-coloured Swarovski element.
