Description: The beehive, home to and engineering feat of the honey bee, is built around an iconic structure: the honeycomb. This amazing architecture is a mathematically perfect matrix of hexagons, optimizing spatial coverage while minimizing the amount of construction material required for building - an achievement of engineering efficiency that is virtually unmatched. With all the effort and talent that goes into hive-making, you could say that “busy as a bee” is almost an understatement! Special features · A FIRST! This is the first coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s exciting new painted silver proof series featuring exceptional architects of Canada’s animal world. · Each coin comes with a certificate of fascinating facts about the life of honey bees in Canada. · Crafted in 99.99% fine silver. Design This coin was designed by Canadian artist Yves Bérubé. It features a painted honey bee standing atop a flower blossom, its head bowed to collect precious nectar that will sustain its colony. The design is layered over an embossed honeycomb of perfectly symmetrical hexagons, which cover the entire polished silver field of the coin’s reverse. The reverse also features the word “CANADA,” the date “2013,” and the face value of “3 DOLLARS.” Packaging Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clam-shell case lined with flock and protected by a black sleeve. A perfect coin gift for everyone! Shipping & Handling: Fast, free shipping & handling via USPS First Class Mail to all U.S. addresses!

Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces. However, tilting the coin may resulting one side being slightly out of focus. Our goal is to provide clear, high definition photos that accurately represent the coin(s) offered in each of our eBay listings. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
