Royal Canadian Mint’s opulence Collection returns with Platinum and Gold coins featuring yellow diamonds 

The Royal Canadian Mint’s Opulence Collection, a luxurious offering of rare precious-metal coins blending the worlds of fine jewellery and numismatic art, dazzles once again with pure gold and platinum creations adorned with rare fancy yellow diamonds sourced from the renowned Ekati Diamond Mine in Canada’s Northwest Territories.

This year’s collection consists of “Brilliance”, a 10 oz. pure platinum coin and “Radiance”, a 1 oz. pure gold coin, each adorned with Canadian fancy yellow diamonds, among the rarest gemstones in the world. The diamonds were expertly cut and polished by Vancouver-based Crossworks Manufacturing Ltd. These exclusive collectibles are available as of today.

The 2025 Pure Platinum Coin – Brilliance is a meticulously crafted 10 oz., 99.95% platinum showpiece, designed by the Canadian duo of Chris Reid and Rosina Li. Its reverse celebrates the Canada lily (Lilium canadense) in a motif accentuated by selective gold plating and a dazzling array of 14 pear cut and nine round cut fancy yellow diamonds. Seven diamonds form the centre of the largest lily, which is surrounded by eight additional jewelled and engraved elements that, together, show the lily in various stages of growth. This exceptional creation is limited to only 10 examples world-wide.

The 2025 Pure Gold Coin – Radiance is the work of Canadian artist Simon Ng, who has created a reverse surrounding a jewelled adornment shaped like a Canada lily. Its petals are formed by six marquise-cut fancy yellow diamonds elegantly framing a round-cut white diamond at the centre. This jewelled centrepiece rests atop an engraved sunburst design inspired by the compass star. Four sun-like flowers, each adorned with a round cut white diamond, are engraved along the edge. These handcrafted treasures are limited to a mintage of only 30.
