1 oz 2025 Snowflake Shaped Silver Coin | Royal Canadian Mint

Embrace the beauty of winter with our 3rd snowflake coin.

Delicate ice crystals gracefully floating through the air, each shape reflecting light back on the snowy landscape dotted with evergreens—this is the beauty of a Canadian winter. Our Snowflake series of hexagon-shaped coins continues, this time featuring a fernlike stellar dendrite captured by photographer Don Komarechka. At the centre of this little icy wonder is a green crystal, its rich hue evoking the majesty of the evergreen trees that remain lush and robust, even amidst winter’s stillness. It’s a dazzling winter-themed celebration of the duality of nature, at once mighty and elegant.

A stunning new snowflake to add to your collection.

AS GREEN AS THE TALL EVERGREENS

The green crystal centrepiece symbolizes the vitality of nature and the lush resilience of the evergreen trees that dominate a winter landscape.

REVERSE PROOF

A reverse proof finish heightens the brilliance of the relief and allows the engraved snow crystal to shimmer and shine—as it would on a cold and bright winter day.

DID YOU KNOW?

Fernlike stellar dendrites are the largest snow crystals—larger even than the stellar dendrites featured on the first two coins in this series—and may measure over five millimetres in diameter by the time each one reaches the ground.

Your coin’s reverse features a magnified view of a fernlike stellar dendrite captured by Canadian photographer Don Komarechka and intricately reproduced by Royal Canadian Mint engravers. The brilliant relief re-creates its intricate form, its delicate subbranches (or arms) extending outwards and resembling the branches of a fern, while the green crystal at its centre evokes the majesty of the lush evergreens that add colour to a winter landscape. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Steven Rosati.
