More than just an eye-catching garden adornment, the sundial is humanity’s oldest known timekeeping device—one that functions just as well today as it did in ancient times. An elaborate and functional showcase of craftsmanship, this limited collectible from the Royal Canadian Mint adds a working sundial to your coin collection. Its embellishment is a gold-plated brass gnomon that, when placed in view of the sun and in the direction of true north, casts an angled shadow onto the elaborately engraved gold-plated 99.99% pure silver base to indicate local solar time.

KEY FEATURES       

• The cast gnomon—the angled pointer that casts the shadow—is gold-plated brass.
• While the acanthus leaf motif has a timeless look that harkens back to a bygone era, various frostings are combined with a proof finish to highlight different design elements.
• Each coin has been carefully placed inside a taller capsule that can accommodate the additional height of the 3D embellishment.
• Only 5,500 available worldwide.
