Your coin is styled like vintage silver jewellery and fits in a pendant necklace (not included).
Beautiful purple saxifrage (Saxifraga oppositifolia) is known as aupaluktunnguat in Inuktitut,one of Nunavut's four official languages. This star-shaped flower is one of Canada's northernmost wildflower species. It's also one of the first signs of spring in the Arctic, where its speedy re-emergence after a harsh winter is symbolic of the hardy, determined nature of the region's inhabitants.
A gorgeous gift of Nunavut's beautiful purple saxifrage for that special someone.
