2019 - $20 - Vegreville Pysanka - 1 oz. Pure Silver Coloured Coin

At the eastern edge of Vegrevillle, Alberta, stands an egg-shaped symbol of harmony. The 2,300-kilogram pysanka is a centennial monument to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It is a wonder of computer-aided design, complete with colourful patterns that are a celebration of peace, history and tradition. Our fourth pysanka coin is an easy-to-hold version of Vegreville's world-famous Ukrainian Easter egg. On the reverse, every symbol, colour and detail has a special meaning — even the appearance of tiles that turned a cultural expression into a geometric marvel.
