First coin design:
Haida artist April White-SGaana Jaad of the Yahqu'iaanaas Raven Clan-has created a mesmerizing image of an orca leaping out of the water. Look closely and you will see a female form hidden beneath the orca "cloak." She is using her arms and legs in the orca's fins and tail to propel herself forward. Her shoulder is situated directly beneath the orca's eye, and her black hair is flowing along its back, echoed in the orca's black ribs. The ethereal essence of the scene is further enhanced by the silhouette of a full moon createdby the circular outline of the design.
