This commemorative celebrates the delicate seahorse and its home among shallow seagrass beds, shells and rocky coastal seabeds, as explored in the first Under the Sea issue, bringing cultural and historical significance to a distinctive numismatic release. Issued in 2017 and produced by the Royal Canadian Mint, the piece features 31.39g of .9999 silver and an official denomination of CAD $20. With a maximum mintage of 7,500, it combines a focused collecting theme with the appeal of a limited-release precious-metal product. Its subject makes it particularly interesting to enthusiasts who collect related series, commemorative silver, licensed characters and specialist releases rather than relying on bullion weight alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe principal reverse design features Maurice Gervais' colourful seagrass habitat with a handmade seahorse mosaic murrini created by glass artist Loïc Beaumont-Tremblay inside a protective borosilicate glass element. One of its most attractive qualities is a unique handmade glass mosaic seahorse, layered coloured enamel and engraved underwater textures, giving the coin an individuality that is difficult to achieve with standard bullion artwork. The recorded mint finish is coloured proof with sculpted glass, complemented by carefully executed engraved detail. The obverse bears Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, connecting the specialist reverse artwork with Canada's established commemorative coinage. The design should be viewed in its protected presentation whenever possible to avoid unnecessary contact with coloured, glass or proof-finished surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors, the attraction of 2017 Canada Under the Sea Seahorse 1oz .9999 Silver $20 Coloured Proof – Royal Canadian Mint extends beyond the precious-metal content to the completeness, specialist craftsmanship and story represented by this release. The original issue was presented in royal canadian mint maroon clamshell and black beauty box, and collectors will generally want to see the original capsule, certificate and any accessories that formed part of the package. The maximum mintage of 7,500 refers to the published issue or individual designs, not to a separate verified number of complete resale packages. Photographs should show the exact item being supplied and its condition, including any signs of toning, scratches, marks on display cases or missing paperwork.
