This exquisite 2024 $20 fine silver coin combines the rarity and beauty of Ammolite - one of Canada’s rarest and most spectacular gemstones - with the magic of motion which shows off its iridescent and dynamic colors.  Mintage is limited to just 925 pieces. HST/GST exempt.

Ammolite is an opal-like organic gemstone found primarily along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of North America. It is made of fossilized shells of ammonites dating back to over 70 million years ago.  The gemstone can have a wide range of colors and patterns, with iridescence and dynamic colors that can vary from reds and greens to blues, violets and yellow. The patterns can also range from solid colors to intricate designs resembling flames, watercolor paintings, or even stained glass.  Indigenous Canadians have referred to Ammolite as the “Buffalo Stone”, the “Energy Stone”, “Spirit Stone” or “Seven Color Prosperity Stone”.

This first coin in a new series is themed as “Elements of Air”, featuring an ammolite stone with a predominant yellow color.  The genuine Canadian ammolite is mounted and housed in a 3D frame fashioned by Canadian owned and operated Beverly Hills Jewelers. The special jewelry mount allows the ammolite to move and flash its color with the slightest movement of its coin base.

Enhanced with selective gold plating, the design features an array of line art patterns that visually convey motion and evoke the sense of an ever-changing wind. This swirling representation of Air rises as it surrounds the center ammolite. 

Ammolite is the official gemstone of Alberta.  It is ethically mined from the province’s Bearpaw Geological Formation and that is the only place in the world where commercial quantities of gem-quality ammolite are found.

The obverse is one of the last coins to feature the posthumous effigy of Queen Elizabeth.
