2026 Canada Murano Blue Butterfly 16 oz Silver Proof Gilded 3D Coin
Discover exceptional artistry and natural beauty with the 2026 Canada Murano Blue Butterfly 16 oz Silver Proof Gilded 3D Coin. The Royal Canadian Mint continues its celebrated butterfly series with this extraordinary follow-up to the Murano Monarch Butterfly release.
This impressive half-kilo collectible combines precious metal craftsmanship with authentic Murano glass artistry. Mint artisans strike each coin from 502.5 grams of 99.99% pure silver and apply selective gold plating to enhance the engraved details. As a result, the design delivers remarkable contrast and visual depth.
The substantial 85.52 mm diameter creates an expansive canvas that showcases every detail with stunning clarity.
Authentic Murano Craftsmanship in Three Dimensions
At the center of the design sits a handcrafted Murano glass butterfly inspired by the beautiful silvery blue species. Its vibrant blue wings and delicate silvery spotted underside create a distinctive appearance that collectors can best appreciate in three-dimensional form.
Master glassmaker Vio Col Vetro handcrafts every butterfly individually. Therefore, each piece displays subtle variations that make every coin unique.
The butterfly rests within a finely engraved arrangement of zinnias and marigolds, two pollinator-friendly flowers that bring vivid colour to gardens across Canada.
Selective gold plating highlights the engraved floral details and creates elegant contrast against the reflective proof finish.
Artist Marie-Élaine Cusson designed the reverse composition, while Steven Rosati created the obverse design. Together, their work transforms this release into a premium collector centerpiece.
Luxury Presentation That Complements the Design
Canada issues this collectible with a legal tender denomination of $125 and finishes the coin in stunning proof quality to maximize brilliance and detail.
A serrated edge completes the refined appearance and reinforces the premium presentation.
The Royal Canadian Mint pairs the coin with packaging that enhances the overall experience. Collectors receive the coin housed inside a distinctive cloche-inspired dome capsule that complements the butterfly and botanical theme.
The presentation also includes a premium wood base display case enclosed within a protective black setup box. Together, these components create a finished display measuring approximately 141 mm x 141 mm x 127 mm.
Collectors will also receive an official Certificate of Authenticity along with an additional certificate verifying the authenticity of the handcrafted Murano glass butterfly.
Additionally, the package includes an exclusive art card that reproduces the original watercolour artwork that inspired the reverse design.
