The Mint notes a difference between the two 3D embellishments: “The inward curve of the flower petals changes the way the light reflects off the surface, while the golden gleam shines brightly on the dragonfly’s wings and body.”

造幣廠指出了兩種 3D 裝飾之間的差異：“花瓣的向內曲線改變了光線從表面反射的方式，而金色的光芒在蜻蜓的翅膀和身體上閃閃發光。”

Coin comes alive with its design

硬幣因其設計而充滿活力

The coin was designed by Royal Canadian Mint engraver Ryan Poser. The back showcases the waterlily and its blooming leaves, which appear to lie on a water-like surface.

該硬幣由加拿大皇家造幣廠雕刻師 Ryan Poser 設計。背面展示了睡蓮及其盛開的葉子，它們似乎躺在像水一樣的表面上。

The mint said that in the middle of the flower is a shining crystal “where it reflects light like a water droplet on a sunny day.”

薄荷糖表示，花朵的中間有一顆閃亮的水晶，「它反射光線，就像陽光明媚的日子裡的水滴一樣」。

The whitetail dragonfly can be seen on the flowers’ edge.

在花邊可以看到白尾蜻蜓。

When you tilt the coin, you can see the gravity-activated dragonfly travel around the bloom, making it a unique collector’s item.

當您傾斜硬幣時，您可以看到重力激活的蜻蜓在花朵周圍移動，使其成為獨特的收藏品。

The coin is also quite large in size, with a diameter of 65.25 mm.
