An Inukshuk, is featured in fine detail on this gold plated fine silver collectable coin, is an enduring Inuit tradition and a proud symbol of the Canadian North. These sculptures of unworked stone form distinctive monuments, traditionally used to communicate direction for hunting, navigation along difficult terrain, or to warn of potential dangers ahead. Building an Inukshuk, whether small or large, is a selfless act that leaves a sign for travellers; one that offers meaning and guidance, and ultimately mirrors the community spirit for which Canadians are renowned.
