The RCM puts out some of the most beautiful coins. This one caught my eye right away and when I found I could get it without a subscription, I jumped at it and got two.

Loved the concept of reflected butterfly but in hand the reflected side was just a muddied mess.Top butterfly portion well done ,very colourful and detailed and nice gloss.Whole butterfly should have been like the top.Returned 4 coins I bought.
