The moon illuminates the darkness, providing guidance and direction. For many generations, it has beenthe guardian of the night. As it moved across the sky changing from dark to light, the moon reflected the cyclical rhythms of life. In the Pacific Northwest, First Nations peoples felt the moon's influence on the tides, and the fullness of their fishing nets. Within the moon lies the power of transformation.

Designed by Kwakwaka'wakw artist Andy Everson, your 3-coin set portrays three of the moon's phases: the completely dark new moon, the partially veiled waxing gibbous moon and the silvery full moon. Exquisite engraving reveals the progression from youthful new moon to mature and wise full moon, while translucent enamel casts a shadow-yet still allows the features to shine through in this exceptional masterpiece of Northwest Coast art.
