Canada 3 dollars June Alexandrite Birthstone Swarowski proof silver coin 2011

The Canada 3 Dollars June Alexandrite Birthstone Silver Coin, issued in 2011, is a refined and symbolic collectible from Canada’s Birthstones series. Dedicated to June, this coin celebrates alexandrite — a gemstone admired for its rarity and color-changing beauty, traditionally associated with balance, intuition, and transformation. With a face value of three dollars, the coin combines elegant design with gemstone artistry.

The reverse features a dynamic circular composition formed by curved, petal-like elements arranged in a swirling pattern. These frosted silver shapes radiate outward against a dark mirror-polished background, creating a strong sense of motion and depth. At the center is a round faceted gemstone set securely into the coin. The stone displays rich purple-pink tones, characteristic of alexandrite-style Swarovski crystals, and reflects light vividly, serving as the focal point of the design.

The obverse shows a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a pearl necklace and formal attire. The frosted relief contrasts with the glossy field, surrounded by inscriptions reading “ELIZABETH II,” “CANADA,” “D. G. REGINA,” the denomination “3 DOLLARS,” and the year “2011.”

Struck in silver with a proof finish, this coin stands out for its gemstone centerpiece and modern aesthetic. Its symbolic theme, detailed engraving, and birthstone connection make it an appealing addition for collectors of jewelry-inspired coins and modern Canadian numismatics.
