⁣⁢The Colours of Paradise set is what you get when a mint master decides to apply their artistic skills to a classic, high-quality coin. Germania Mint started with three 1 oz Canadian Maple Leaf silver coins and coated them with gold color on the front, back, and sides. Then, they painted images of beautiful birds found in island forests on the reverse of the coins. The three birds are the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher, the Greater Bird-of-Paradise, and the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. These birds are very colorful and magnificent. They then use a "funky holo" treatment that gives it an amazing and captivating look. The image covers the full side of this coin which normally has the image of a Canadian Maple Leaf.⁤⁣

⁣⁢On the obverse of the coin is Queen Elizabeth II by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt. Traditionally, this coin has depicted the Queen at various stages of her life, and this one shows her at 79 years old. The Queen is facing right in this portrait, and she is wearing a simple dress, a pearl necklace, and pearl earrings. She looks like she is receiving guests or something more casual, yet she has a majestic and confident air about her. On her right shoulder is "SB" for the artist's initials. Above the portrait is 'Elizabeth II'. Below the Queen is '5 DOLLARS 2022'. On this side, you can really see the gold coloring and how it accentuates the design.⁤⁣
