Ranging from a milky white to a gorgeous sparkle of multiple colours, the opal boasts a luminous appearance and varying colour combinations that make each gemstone as unique as your fingerprints. As the birthstone for those born in October, opal is a beautiful symbol of purity, fidelity and confidence.
An ideal gift for someone born in the month of October! Order your coin today!
The reverse design by Three Degrees Creative Group is both visually compelling and richly symbolic, with a thoughtful melding of traditional and contemporary design elements. In the background, a beautifully engraved lotus pattern fills the reverse in a modern take on the blooms that traditionally symbolize purity of the heart and mind. A majestic, mid-relief dragon is brought to life through intricate engraving that recreates it in extraordinary detail; its presence also carries a strong meaning, as the dragon is a time-honoured symbol of power, strength and good luck in Asian mythology. Above it, a traditional circular motif bears a Swarovski crystal embellishment that represents opal, the birthstone for October, which is said to faithfulness and confidence to those born in the month. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.

Lovely looking coin. It would have been nice if more coins were available as they sell out so quickly.

I bought this for my daughter and gave her a sneak peak. She loved it. Thought it was really neat. She loved the dragon.

This was supposed to be a gift for an adult born in October in the Year of the Dragon. I am disappointed in the crystal and so I am not sure if I will I give it as a gift even though I like the dragon design.
