Where it came from
Released by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2011, this three-dollar coin was part of the 'Birthstones' series, specifically representing the month of September. The series was designed to appeal to collectors interested in personalized numismatic gifts, with each coin featuring a colored crystal corresponding to the traditional birthstone for that month. The sapphire-themed design reflects the elegance associated with the gem, framed within the high-quality silver finish typical of the Mint's collector issues during this period.
The obverse of the coin features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Susanna Blunt, whose portrait has been a staple of Canadian coinage since 2003. The reverse design focuses on the aesthetic representation of the sapphire, utilizing a blend of traditional engraving and modern color application. Upon its release, the coin was well-received by hobbyist collectors who valued the blend of precious metal content and the decorative, thematic appeal that defined the Mint's expanding gift-coin catalog at the time.
