The Royal Canadian Mint proudly presents the 10 oz Silver The Cycle of Life Gold Plated Coin, a stunning tribute to Kwakwaka’wakw art and storytelling traditions. This coin features a meticulous adaptation of an original Kwakwaka’wakw carving, with gold plating adding depth and warmth to the design. At its heart, the Salmon—symbolizing fertility and prosperity—is beautifully depicted, celebrating the natural cycles that sustain life and honor the Salmon's significance in Northwest Coast culture. The gold plating continues on the coin's obverse, accentuating the detailed design.
This 99.99% pure silver coin is available with a limited mintage of just 750 coins worldwide. It comes encapsulated in a protective case, nestled in a sophisticated black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a matching beauty box. Accompanied by a special art card, which includes a reproduction of the original carving by artist Junior Henderson and an explanation of the design, this piece is a true collector's item.
