Celebrate the timeless allure of exploration and the measurement of light with the Canada 2026 The Sundial 99.99% Proof Silver Coin 1oz, the highly anticipated second sundial release 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 with modern minting artistry into one timeless masterpiece.

The coin’s reverse transforms into an elegant working sundial. At its centre, an engraved compass rose rests beneath an angled rhodium-plated gnomon, designed to project a shadow across the coin’s elaborately engraved surface when positioned under sunlight and aligned to true north. An inner ring of decorative botanical motifs surrounds the central stylised globe, while the perimeter is marked by classic Roman numerals denoting the hours from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., beautifully anchored by an acanthus-leaf flourish. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, alongside the King’s name “CHARLES III”, country of issue, year of issue, face value and “D.G. REX”, which is an abbreviation for "Dei Gratia Rex," a Latin title meaning "By the grace of God, King”.

With a limited mintage of only 7,000 pieces worldwide, this coin is an essential acquisition for sophisticated collectors who appreciate the brilliant fusion of scientific innovation and horological elegance.
