This 1/25 ounce pure gold fractional coin depicts the sculpture Owl Shaman Holding Goose (1962) by Inuit sculptor, Joanassie Nowkawalk. This sculpture, original carved in serpentinite, reveals the mystical connection the Inuit people share with nature and the spirit world. Inuit shamans have the ability to transform into animals in order to access their wisdom and strengths. In this case, the shaman has shape-shifted into an owl and captured a goose, a powerful image carved from an ancient and enduring culture.
