2026 Dancing Ammolite Elements of Nature: Fire Silver Coin | Royal Canadian Mint

This Dancing Ammolite channels the bold, untamed energy of Fire.

The third Dancing Ammolite coin celebrates Fire, the fundamental element that symbolizes energy, brings warmth, sparks creativity, and ignites passion! Fire may blaze or glow, but its true magic lies in the way it flickers with life; that hypnotic rhythm—the way the flames sway—inspired the sculpted flame-lines that curve around your coin’s ammolite centrepiece. Suspended in a delicate dance and quivering with every movement, the Canadian-mined gemstone shimmers with hints of red light, as if lit from within, mirrored by the gold accents that complete this tribute to Fire in motion.

Third coin in Royal Canadian Mint's elemental-themed series.

DID YOU KNOW?

As an elemental force, Fire represents the intense heat and pressure of Earth’s interior that, over millions of years, helped transform fossilized ammonite shells into organic gemstones.

An ammolite’s colours come from interference of light reflecting off the different layers of aragonite crystals within the shell, with thinner layers producing shorter wavelengths (blues and violets), and thicker layers reflecting longer wavelengths—specifically, the red hues seen here.

Enhanced with gold plating, the reverse design by Canadian artist Mariya Olshevska features engraved abstract forms inspired by the rhythmic qualities of Fire. Like the flickering flames of a bonfire, the curving lines dance around the 5 mm round ammolite at the heart of this design. The organic gemstone, which was ethically sourced from Alberta’s Bearpaw Geological Formation, is set in a 3D mount fashioned by Canadian-owned and -operated jewellery manufacturer Beverly Hills Jewellers; the yellow gold-plated setting allows the suspended gemstone to “dance” at the slightest movement of the coin base. The obverse features a stylized version of the engraved reverse, as well as the gold-plated effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
