A loving parent. A forever friend. The one for whom your love will never end.

Dotted with three sparkling Swarovski® crystals, this selectively coloured quarter ounce pure silver $3 coin is a sweeping ode to the love that surrounds each of us, and to the special person who holds the key to your heart. Mintage is limited to just 15,000. As pure silver coins issued by the Royal Canadian Mint, this item is HST/GST exempt.

The Design:

Inspired in part by the “love lock” phenomenon seen in cities around the world, the reverse design by Canadian artist Anna Bucciarelli represents a stirring, artistic expression of love through an unbreakable bond—whether it’s between family, friends or romantic partners. Meticulously engraved, the acanthus-inspired pattern adds an ornate flourish to the heart-shaped padlock that centers the design. The key to unlocking this “heart” is positioned just behind it, and is adorned with three Swarovski® crystal elements that add an uplifting, joyful sparkle. Selective colour and multiple finishes bring elegance and depth to a near-universal floral symbol of love, the rose, with two ruby-red blooms positioned on either side of the lock and key.
