Highlights:
This is the first coin ever to be embellished with Venetian glass, a
world-renowned glass prized for its clarity and extremely vibrant
colours. Each glass ladybug was handcrafted by a master-glassmaker in Murano, Italy.
Coin design:
A vibrant ladybug poised on a beautiful coloured tulip.
Artistry meets unrivalled
dimension.
The Mint’s latest innovation brought its world-renowned
engravers together with Italy’s master artisan to create
this unique treasure. They combined Venetian glass with
a unique coloured design to deliver a coin that boasts
new and unrivalled dimension. Crafted to perfection,
each is an eye-catching work of art. The process of
making Venetian glass is rather complex and most glass
art is made using lampworking technique.
The tulip is a true sign of spring. Its distinctive bellshaped
bloom captures precious rainwater and is a safe
haven that naturally shelters the ladybug, a welcome
garden guest.
