Experience the union of artistry and ancient innovation with the Canada 2025 The Gilded Sundial 99.99% Gold-Plated Proof Silver Coin 1oz, a remarkable creation from the Royal Canadian Mint. More than a tribute to history’s oldest timekeeping device, this exquisite collectible doubles as a fully functional sundial — blending science, art, and craftsmanship into one timeless masterpiece.
The coin’s reverse transforms into an elegant working sundial. At its centre rises a beautifully cast gold-plated brass gnomon, designed to project a shadow across the coin’s elaborately engraved surface when positioned under sunlight and aligned to true north. The base, struck from 99.99% fine silver and entirely gilded in gold-plate, features intricate acanthus leaf motifs inspired by classical architecture, highlighted through contrasting frostings and a brilliant proof finish. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, alongside the King’s name “CHARLES III”, face value, country of issue, year of issue, and “D.G. REX”, which is an abbreviation for "Dei Gratia Rex," a Latin title meaning "By the grace of God, King”.
With a worldwide mintage limited to just 5,500 pieces, this coin stands as both a marvel of design and a conversation piece, a perfect blend of art, history, and function.
