The Big Dipper is arguably one of the most recognized formations in the night sky, visible year-round from northern latitudes. Many First Nations legends describe the Big Dipper as a great bear who is hunted ceaselessly by three hunters. This fine silver collectable coin recounts how the hunters, depicted in traditional Saulteaux dress, face paint, and weaponry, tracked the bear across the earth, and bravely followed it into the sky. The stars making up the Big Dipper are enhanced with a glow in the dark effect.
