The Dragonfly and the Bloom Fine Silver Proof Coin: A Touch of Magic
Imagine capturing the beauty of a dragonfly hovering over a bloom on a sunny day. The Dragonfly and the Bloom Fine Silver Proof Coin brings this enchanting scene to life with an interactive design that lets you experience nature’s elegance every time you hold it.
A Coin That Moves With You
This 2024 movement coin features a gyroscopic design—tilt the coin, and the dragonfly circles around the golden bloom! Crafted from sterling silver and plated in yellow gold, the dragonfly and bloom are meticulously detailed to evoke sunlit warmth. The bloom’s center sparkles with a clear crystal, mimicking a dew drop glistening in sunlight.
Exceptional Realism and Golden Details
The coin’s intricate engraving draws viewers into a serene moment: ripples spread across the mirror-like “water” surface, with delicate water droplets adding depth. Both the dragonfly and bloom are cast in 3D and plated in yellow gold, but subtle variations in the finish enhance the realism. The inward curves of the flower petals soften the light, while the dragonfly’s wings and body shine brightly, catching the light in a way that beautifully contrasts with the bloom.
With 5 oz. of 99.99% pure silver and a generous 65.25mm diameter, the coin provides an expansive canvas. The backdrop depicts lily pads floating on rippling water, all polished to a beautiful proof finish. Each coin is truly a miniature work of art.
Limited and Exclusive
Only 1,250 of these coins were minted, and with the Royal Canadian Mint sold out, just 50 are available exclusively to UK collectors through Westminster. Each coin comes on a wooden base under a protective dome, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

The Six Wives of Henry VIII: The Women Behind the Throne
As the story of Henry VIII unfolded, six women shaped the Tudor court and influenced Henry’s decisions, each leaving her mark on history.
Katherine of Aragon (1485–1536)
Henry’s first queen and a Spanish princess, Katherine was determined to remain married despite her inability to produce a male heir. Her resistance led Henry to break from the Catholic Church, forever changing England’s religious landscape.
Anne Boleyn (1501–1536)
Henry’s fascination with Anne led to a legendary romance, the birth of Elizabeth I, and a dramatic fall from grace. When Anne couldn’t provide a son, Henry’s affection turned to fury, leading to her tragic execution.
Jane Seymour (1508–1537)
The gentle Jane Seymour, Henry’s third wife, was the only queen to give him a surviving male heir, Edward VI. Tragically, she died shortly after childbirth, leaving Henry grieving.
Anne of Cleves (1515–1557)
Henry’s fourth marriage, arranged for political alliance, ended swiftly due to Henry’s dissatisfaction. Nonetheless, Anne was treated well post-annulment, living the rest of her life as the “King’s Beloved Sister.”
Katherine Howard (1523–1542)
Young and lively, Katherine Howard quickly captured Henry’s heart, but accusations of infidelity led to her swift execution—another victim of Henry’s ruthless resolve.
Katherine Parr (1512–1548)
Henry’s final queen, Katherine Parr, was a wise and compassionate woman who helped reconcile Henry with his children. Outliving him, she later remarried, marking her as a survivor of one of history’s most dangerous courts.

Bridging the Gap Between Numismatics and Art
Ground-breaking Minting Technology: Smartminting®.
At The Westminster Collection, we are always on the hunt for extraordinary, one-of-a-kind coins that go beyond the ordinary. Whether it’s an innovative shape, size, or cutting-edge minting technique, we know our collectors crave that “something special” – and this latest release is sure to captivate.
But before you read on, here’s the deal: similar designs have sold out before they even hit general release! So, when we say this is a big deal, we mean it.
The Evolution of Smartminting®: A Revolution in Coin Design
The development of Smartminting® technology has completely revolutionised the world of coin production, pushing the boundaries of what was previously thought possible. This innovative process allows for an unparalleled level of detail and ultra-high relief, transforming coins into breathtaking miniature sculptures.
And with only a handful of mints globally capable of this technological feat, owning one of these coins is truly a rare opportunity.
A perfect example of Smartminting®’s brilliance is showcased in The Snow Leopard 50g Copper Coin – a work of art that blurs the line between numismatics and fine art.
Just look at the intricate detail: both sides of the coin feature incredibly high-relief Proof Finishes, something that was unthinkable just a few years ago.
It’s not just a coin—it’s a masterpiece.
A Stunning Tribute to the Endangered Snow Leopard
Beyond its technical prowess, this piece is a tribute to one of the world’s most elusive and endangered creatures: the majestic Snow Leopard. Every fur strand, muscle contour, and fierce claw is depicted with stunning accuracy, giving the coin a dynamic, lifelike quality. On the obverse, the Snow Leopard’s claws seem to tear through the copper itself, a design so realistic you’ll almost feel the power of this magnificent animal.
The Collectible You Can’t Afford to Miss
The beauty of Smartminting® isn’t just about stunning looks. These coins are produced in extremely limited quantities, which significantly enhances their collectability. This combination of rarity, artistic craftsmanship, and technical innovation makes each piece a must-have for collectors.
And if you’re wondering just how remarkable this coin truly is, there’s only one way to fully appreciate it: watch the video below. This video is the only way to fully appreciate this coin without physically holding it. It offers a 360-degree view of the piece, highlighting its three-dimensional depth and exceptional craftsmanship.
Act Now: Secure Your Snow Leopard Coin Before It’s Gone
This stunning Snow Leopard coin is limited to only 5000 pieces worldwide, making it a rare treasure for a select few collectors. Given the rapid sell-out of previous coins in the Wild Mongolia Series – and the option to secure this remarkable piece with five interest-free instalments of just £15 – we don’t expect these to be available for long…
