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

Design: Algonquin artist Frank Polson creates a captivating image of a full moon behind a leafless tree. A human figure stands to the left, arms outstretched, holding a drumstick and drum to the Star Nation. The drum doubles as a medicine wheel to represent the sacred teachings that are being expressed through song. The vibrantly coloured shapes within the figure are a signature design element in Anishinaabe art and represent the universal life force that animates all things.
