The reverse of this remarkable coin is inspired by a wooden carving created by Haida artist Carol Young for the Royal Canadian Mint. The "moon mask" design is significant in many First Nations cultures, representing "Grandmother Moon" a symbol of feminine wisdom tied to the full moon and the role of the elder woman as a leader, sage, and keeper of clan history.
The handcrafted coin captures the intricate three-dimensional details of the original carving, even preserving the appearance of the wood grain. Made from 99.999% pure gold and weighing over one troy ounce, this coin is part of an extremely limited mintage of just 500 coins worldwide, making it a prized addition for collectors.
