Time cast in silver and light. This elegant proof coin from the Royal Canadian Mint is more than a collectable — it is a working sundial. At its centre sits a rhodium-plated brass gnomon that rises from a compass rose and stylised globe, casting a precise shadow across Roman numerals when aligned to true north in the midday sun.

Surrounded by delicate botanical flourishes and classical detailing, the design celebrates exploration and the quiet beauty of measuring hours by the movement of light. Limited to just 7,000 pieces worldwide, it is a refined and functional addition to any collection of fine silver or scientific curiosities.
