The seven stars that make up the Big Dipper are arguably one of the most recognized formations in the night sky.  Many Indigenous legends describe the Big Dipper as a great bear who is hunted ceaselessly by three hunters. This fine silver collectable coin illustrates in full colour how the wounded bear continues to evade the Plains Ojibwa hunters who are locked in an eternal pursuit. The stars making up the Big Dipper are enhanced with a glow in the dark effect.
