The Clouded Sulphur (Colias philodice) is a familiar sight throughout all Canadian provinces and territories and a sure sign that summer has arrived. This sterling silver collectable coin highlights the yellow fluttering wings of this butterfly with gold plating. The bright yellow males have a black dot on each forewing and an orange dot on each hindwing with a black edge. On the creamier coloured females, this black edge has yellow blotches while their spots and edging can also be monochromatic which makes them appear solid white.
All collectable coins have been previously owned. Conditions will vary.
