Celebrate Indigenous storytelling and the art of gifting knowledge.
NEW SERIES! For the First Peoples of Canada, relayingan age-old story is a lesson in itself à and that is the focus of our new Generations series. In repeating legends and myths, one generation sets an example for the next one, entrusting them with tales that are now theirs to tell and move forward through time.
The first story comes from Inuit Nunangat, where unikkaaqtuat ("myths" in Inuktut) play an important role in the transmission of knowledge and values. Depicted on this 99.99% pure silver coin, the well_known legend of the Sea Goddess continues to inform new generations and inspire artists such as Jason Sikoak, who designed this coin.
New series! The new Generations series celebrates the art of gifting knowledge through the stories of the First Peoples of Canada. Issued annually, each coin travels to a different region of Canada to highlight a legend that has been told and retold since time immemorial.
A tradition of sharing! In oral tradition, there is the expectation that the listener will share the story with others à and we encourage collectors to do the same with these coins. By combining Indigenous stories and art, this series is our way of honouring Indigenous storytellers and the role they play in sharing traditional knowledge with new generations.
Limited mintage! Crafted from 99.99% pure silver, your coin has a limited mintage of 5,000 worldwide.
Includes serialized certificate! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
