Where it came from
The 2016 five-dollar coin commemorating the February birthstone was issued by the Royal Canadian Mint as part of a twelve-part series celebrating birthstones. This series was designed to appeal to gift-givers and personal collectors, utilizing a combination of silver and a sparkling, gem-toned crystal to represent the amethyst associated with February. The aesthetic focus was on blending traditional numismatic craft with contemporary jewelry-inspired embellishments.
The design was produced by the Royal Canadian Mint, which is renowned for its high-quality finishes and innovative approach to commemorative coinage. These pieces are intended to serve as sentimental mementos rather than standard circulation currency, reflecting a trend in modern minting toward themed collectibles. The series was well-received by hobbyist collectors who appreciate the Mint's commitment to detail and the specific symbolism tied to the Gregorian calendar birthstones.
