Great coin and great design. A little expensive for the size but overall, worth it.

Sterling Silver and Niobium Coin - Hunter's Moon (2011)
2nd issue in the popular series!
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.

Decent 2nd installment

I do love the whole full moon series, but this coin was a little bit of a dissapointment to me. A majority of the ones I looked at had a few colour blemishes, so it took a bit longer to choose one that I wanted to buy. I look forward to the later installments of this set.

I have to agree with the complaints with the earlier coin Buck Moon that the coins in this series are too small for the money. It should be 36mm-40mm not the 28mm. However, I believe it should be larger not for the materials value but to display the artwork of Hunter's Moon on a larger scale for enjoyment. I purchased the Hunter's Moon for the design and yes, the 7,500 mintage, and being a new series. The design with the native and the silver moon took my breath away. It has great detail and the moon stands out. My main reason for purchasing the coin was for the artwork not the materials value. I like a coin that can be displayed,enjoyed and one that is also rare. I do not like the the 1st and 4th coin in the series, the designs do nothing for me. I will buy the 3rd in the series which is the wolf. The wood display for the coin is a nice touch, much better than plastic or cardboard though it adds little to the value of the purchase for those that are looking at the coin as an investment.

Neat Little Coin

This is a neat design, but should be on something closer to the size of a half-dollar coin versus a quarter sized coin. This neat, just a bit small. I think this is currently and will be the best design of the series.
I like the Shiney
