Artists - Richard Cochrane (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse). 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. This coin presents 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 pure gold coin. With an very low mintage of only 6,000 coins, only a very few will ever own this superb silver coin!

This incredibly detailed coin recreates the wood grain of the Red Cedar that was used to carve the actual wooden moon mask. This coin was created through a minting technique that builds the apex of the silver relief image to the extreme heights usually found only in Medallic art, where dimensional images are created through the casting processes of sculpture. VERY LOW MINTAGE of only 6,000 coins.

Each coin is a faithful reproduction of a wooden moon mask created in the mid-2000s by renowned Aboriginal artist Richard Cochrane. It recreates the wood grain of the old-growth Red Cedar used to carve the mask, preserves the two dark growth lines and the protective ring of eight New Zealand abalone shells. The reverse also features the word "CANADA, " the date "2013, " and the face value of 25 DOLLARS. Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell case lined with a black flock and protected by a black sleeve.

This coin is an excellent addition for premium and fine silver collectors and investors, as well as Aboriginal art enthusiasts. Are also available for an additional charge. " Unsearched" - All of the coins offered in this listing are "unsearched". Many coin dealers "search" all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins.

Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed.

Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera.

We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces. However, tilting the coin may resulting one side being slightly out of focus. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits. This item is in the category "Coins & Paper Money\Coins: Canada\Commemorative".
