Murano Silvery Blue Butterfly Half Kilo Fine Silver Coin Canada 2026

Following the success of the 2025 Murano Monarch Butterfly, the Royal Canadian Mint returns with another spectacular nature-inspired masterpiece. Crafted from an impressive ½ kilogram of 99.99% pure silver, this exquisite collectible features a handcrafted Murano glass Silvery Blue butterfly, capturing the delicate beauty of one of nature's most enchanting pollinators.

Handcrafted in Murano, Italy by master glassmaker Vio Col Vetro, the butterfly displays vibrant blue wings with the distinctive silvery underside that gives the species its name. Perched atop an intricately engraved arrangement of zinnias and marigolds—two beloved pollinator-friendly flowers found in gardens across Canada—the butterfly creates a striking three-dimensional centerpiece.

The reverse is enhanced with selective gold plating, highlighting the engraved butterflies while providing a beautiful contrast against the brilliant silver field. Inspired by an original watercolor painting, the design seamlessly blends sculpture, engraving, and fine art into one remarkable collectible.

Presented beneath a glass cloche-style dome capsule, this extraordinary release includes both a serialized Royal Canadian Mint Certificate of Authenticity and a second certificate verifying the authenticity of the handcrafted Murano glass butterfly. A beautifully printed art card featuring the original watercolor artwork completes this exceptional presentation.

With a worldwide mintage of just 800 coins, this stunning release is a true centerpiece for collectors of fine art, nature, and premium Canadian coinage.
