Canada: 2018 $3 Thirteen Teachings From Grandmother Moon: Falling Leaves Moon Pure Silver Coloured Coin

Canada: 2018 $3 Thirteen Teachings From Grandmother Moon: Falling Leaves Moon Pure Silver Coloured Coin 

Design: Algonquin artist Frank Polson has created a captivating image of a full moon behind an autumn tree with only a few leaves clinging to its branches while others fall to the ground. A woman kneels to the left, her head bowed in prayer. Plumes of tobacco smoke rise from the bowl in her hands. The vibrantly coloured shapes within the woman’s silhouette are a signature design element in Anishinaabe art and represent the universal life force that animates all things. The woman’s flowing hair is symbolic of her connection to the web of life as a sacred part of creation.
