A Royal Canadian Mint first! Limited Edition coin features a niobium metal inset with unique coloring that reflects the theme of the coin.
Highlights:
By undertaking the technical complexities of producing a niobium
coin, these Royal Canadian Mint “firsts” set the bar high for
unmatched colour and lustre. The niobium core was selectively
oxidized to create a unique finish—no two coins are exactly alike!
Coin design:
An Algonquin
hunter crouches by the light of a
full moon, ready and waiting for
his quarry to appear while rustcoloured
hues selectively applied
to the niobium core enhance this
coin’s autumn theme.
Packaging:
Coin is encapsulated and presented in a wooden flip case, lined with flock and protected by a black sleeve.
Timekeeper for the Algonquin people.
In North America, the First Nations tribes that
comprise the Algonquin people looked to the
moon to track time. They assigned a name to
every full moon to reflect the seasonal activities
that accompanied each cycle. Theirs was a vast
territory that extended from Lake Superior to the
eastern seaboard, resulting in a variety of names
throughout the Algonquin community. The buck,
hunter, wolf and pink full moons represent summer,
autumn, winter and spring.
