Add this 1/4 oz Silver $3 December Birthstone Series coin to your cart today!The reverse by Pandora Young presents a cross-cultural celebration inspired by the ancient tradition of Indian mehndi. A symmetrical arrangement of highly ornate shapes and symbols form a 12-point radial pattern that reflects the calendar year. A prominent henna motif — the lotus — is among the finely detailed elements that emanate from the center, where a colorful Swarovski® crystal represents the December birthstone, tanzanite. A selective application of color complements the stone, while the playful contrast between soft and vivid tones highlights the layered complexity of the engraved artistry.
