In the east is the fourth level, is of Kluskap (the first human being) created from a lightning bolt and earth elements. From there, the Mi'kmaq Creation Story unfolds in the cardinal directions south, west and north across the coin's reverse that reflects the cyclical nature of the natural world, where everything has its own unique spirit, and where all must work in harmony with one another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdd Coin #3 to your Generations series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial features\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoin #3.
