  Got a pic? I'm not sure the embedded crystals will hold up well in circulation.

  Strange looking coin, but maybe it will find a market. What are the crystals made of?

  Limited to 1000? Jeez, these guys are worse than the U.S. mint about encouraging speculation.

  Finish: proof (with six Swarovski® crystals on the reverse)
  Weight (g): 60.50
  Diameter (mm): 50
  Edge: serrated
  Certificate: serialized
  Face value: $300

  Reverse: Scientifically referred to as a dendrite ice crystal, the beauty of this snowflake is embellished with six glittering Swarovski® crystals.

  I was interested until I saw the gold content, and the price $1500 plus.......
  
  I will stick with my $3 golden beaver.
