2013 - $25 - Fine Silver Ultra High Relief Coin - Grandmother Moon Mask

To many First Nations tribes, the moon is a sacred symbol. Because it brightens the darkness and rules the tides, the moon is seen as a powerful protector, grandmother, and matron of the earth. First Nations often carved masks to express the intimate relationship between nature and people—such as the Grandmother Moon, artist Richard Cochrane's interpretation of the moon smiling down at him and onto the earth.

The Royal Canadian Mint has recreated the Grandmother Moon mask in ultra high relief to translate this beautiful hand-carved mask into a fine silver coin. Order yours today!
