Issued in the People’s Republic of China, this set would make a great gift for any collector of Lepidoptera or world coins.
I’ve tried to capture the beautiful gossamer wings of butterflies and dragonflies in illustrations before and I find it impossible to truly replicate them. Even in photography one can’t capture the flash of colors as they flutter about. Well, I was startled to see that the designer of these coins got it. The use of the Prism applique technique works perfectly to recreate that flitting, glinting impression we associate with these wonderful creatures in flight. I never would have expected it in a coin. If you’re a collector of world coins with a place in your collection for creatures of such gentle beauty then this set of 3 proof-like world coins with Prism applique butterflies is demanding a spot of prominence.

This is one of four beautiful butterfly coins I was able to purchase at a show in San Francisco a few months ago. I really can’t tell you much about the pieces except that they have been very popular with our eBay customers and I’m sure they will continue to be a favorite among Lepidoptera fanciers.
