The Royal Canadian Mint has recreated the Grandmother Moon mask, by Indigenous artist Richard Cochrane, in ultra high relief to translate this beautiful hand-carved mask into a fine silver collectable coin. This collectable coin recreates the wood grain of the Red Cedar that was used to carve the actual wooden moon mask in incredible detail. 

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

All collectable coins have been previously owned. Conditions will vary.
