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. Each niobium core was selectively
oxidized to create a unique finish—no two coins are exactly alike!
Coin design:
A young buck stands poised before a full Summer moon; a hunter
patiently tracking his quarry; a howling wolf set against a backdrop
of a full Winter moon; a cluster of phlox blossoming before a Spring
moon. Each colouring selectively applied to the niobium insert
enhances the season’s theme.
Packaging:
Coins are 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.
July is the quintessential month of summer. Its full moon is known as Thunder Moon or Summer Moon, but its most common name is Buck Moon to reflect the fact that bucks in the North American wilderness are beginning to grow new antlers—a vision of elegance and strength inspired by the ever-changing cycle of life.
