Canada: 2009 $20 Summer Moon Mask Silver Coin

Design: The coin showcases a moon mask design. In North America, First Nations people felt an intimate connection with the moon and sought to capture its symbolism in their ceremonial masks. The Coast Salish people of British Columbia are known throughout the world for the powerful images they carved into wood; expressions of an ancient culture that are emerging as a popular art form today. Although these masks are created by modern hands, they preserve the vision that was established by the artist's ancestors centuries ago. They are a unique bridge to the spirit world with a sacred power that transcends time - and seen through the eyes of magic.

Mintage: 10000

Packaging: The coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Maroon clamshell case. It is protected by a black box.
