The Gilded Sundial 1 Oz Fine Silver Coin 2025

Make time to admire this extraordinary creation—a functional sundial coin, back by popular demand from the Royal Canadian Mint.
Inspired by humanity’s oldest known timekeeping device, this 1 oz 99.99% pure silver coin combines historical ingenuity with modern craftsmanship. At its center stands a gold-plated brass gnomon, which when positioned toward true north and exposed to sunlight, casts a shadow across the elaborately engraved and gold-plated silver base to reveal the local solar time.
Far more than a collectible, this innovative piece bridges art, science, and history, offering a tangible reminder of humankind’s enduring fascination with the passage of time.
