Canada 2010 Water Lily Lotus Swarovski Crystals $20 Pure Silver Proof Coin
In this beautiful coin, designed by Claudio D'Angelo, the color comes together with three genuine SWAROVSKI. Crystals to create a gorgeous keepsake. The shine of a proof finish on pure silver produces a stunning setting for an original and enduring white Lotus flower, while droplets of morning dew, glittering from its leaves, complete the amazing design of this eye-catching coin. The Water Lily (Nymphaea odorants) is related to the lotus and is hailed the loveliest of flowers with powerful symbolism in cultures throughout the world. Much of this symbolism is attributed to the flower's ability to emerge from the depths of muddy waters to bring life and beauty to the surface - an image that inspired the ancient Egyptian myth of a world created out of moisture.
The flower's cup-like form is designed for a unique pollination process. Each lily blooms for only three days, opening in the morning and closing in the afternoon.On the first day, it releases a sweet-smelling fluid to attract pollen-laden insects that are washed clean and fertilize the stigmas. On the second and third days, the flower releases pollen which is carried away by insects that visit the plant. Then, the plant's stalks recoil, pulling the flower under water where its seeds mature and are released into the lake.
