The circular form of a mandala ("circle" in Sanskrit) makes it a powerful representation of the universe; of harmony and unity; and the connection between our inner world and the one around us. Inspired by the art of henna, our monthly Birthstone Series offers a colourful takeon this timeless motif that combines art, astronomyand geometry. Within the 12-point pattern, selective colour highlights a medley of engraved shapes and patterns emanating from the mandala's centre,where a Swarovski^® crystal represents each month's birthstone and adds extra sparkle to this birthday celebration!

Designed by Pandora Young, January, the first coin in your birthstone subscription presents a cross-cultural celebration inspired by the ancient traditionof Indian mehndi. A symmetrical arrangement of highly ornate shapes and symbols form a 12-point radialpattern that reflects the calendar year. A prominent henna motif — the lotus — is among the finely detailed elements that emanate from the centre, where a colourful Swarovski^® crystal represents the January birthstone, garnet. A selective application of colour complements the stone, while the playful contrast between soft and vivid tones highlights the layered complexity of the engraved artistry. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen ElizabethII by Susanna Blunt.

Each of your coins are encapsulated and presented separately in Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroonclamshells with black beauty boxes.
