Canada: 2018 $3 The Thirteen Teachings From Grandmother Moon: Bear Moon Fine Silver Coin

Design: Algonquin artist Frank Polson creates a captivating image of a full moon filling the sky as it sits low on the horizon behind a leafless tree. To the left, a bear stands on its hind legs like a human as it stretches after its long hibernation and reaches for its dreams. The use of bold lines, and the insertion of vivid colour within black areas as if to reveal what lies within, is a signature design element in woodland art.
