Canada 2014 

Water Lilly & Leopard Frog

1 Oz $20 Pure .9999 Silver Proof Coin  with hand-blown Murano Venetian Glass

Found in all Canadian province and territories except Yukon and Nunavut, the leopard frog is aptly named for the irregularly shaped black spots that dot its brown, greenish-brown, or green skin. It lives in a variety of habitats including wetlands in prairies and woodlands in summer for feeding. In the fall it usually moves to ponds, streams, and rivers which do not freeze to the bottom. In the spring it emerges to seek out ponds and marshes for breeding. It is there that the tadpoles will develop.

This exceptionally beautiful coin features an engraved and painted Yellow Pond Lily (Nuphar variegatum ) that occupies the left side of the reverse image field. The blossom is in fool bloom, its outer cup shaped petals opened to reveal the circular pattern of stamens cradled inside. A stunning, translucent green leopard frog made of  hand-blown Venetian glass , crafted by Giuliano Donaggio (a master glassmaker in Murano, Italy), sits upon the engraved and colored green lily pad leaf in the right portion of the image field. Italy's Murano glass is prized around the world for its artistic beauty, clarity, and unmatched rainbow of color palette.

Obverse: The effigy of  Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England facing right, executed by the Susanna Blunt, with legend: ELIZABETH II D. G. REGINA. ("Elizabeth II, Queen by the Grace of God") also appears. Coin is encapsulated and presented in a maroon clamshell case lined with flock and protected by a black outer sleeve.

THE COIN IS IN PERFECT MINT CONDITION AND COMES IN ALL ORIGINAL PCM PACKAGING WITH COA #6941

The leopard frog consumes nearly any animal that fits in its mouth, be it insects, worms, smaller frogs and even birds or garter snakes. The hunter becomes the hunted if it encounters predators such as fish, water snakes, turtles, herons, raccoons or even larger frogs. 

Lillies - as freshwater perennials - are remarkable plants. At the surface, their buoyant evergreen leaves form a canopy that become resting places for dragonflies, beetles and even small turtles. Nine species are native to Canada, including the widespread yellow pond lily. Often dotted with a large, fragrant blossom that opens in the morning sun and closes in the afternoon, these plants are anchored to the muddy lakebed by a long stalk. A glimpse underneath these lily pads reveals a wealth of wildlife competing for cover, making these plants essential to their aquatic ecosystems.
