This collectable fine silver coin features a one-of-a-kind Venetian glass embellishment on a floral design that is brought to life in full colour. The purple cornflower is a favourite among Canadian gardeners not only for its easy maintenance, but its ability to attract gorgeous butterflies like the Eastern Tailed Blue (Cupido comyntas). This tiny butterfly, one of Canada’s smallest and loveliest, can be found across southeastern Canada from New Brunswick to southeastern Saskatchewan.
