Other Pysanka Coins are here.

As in previous years, this 2024 fine silver pysanka coin features intricate folk-art motifs and beautifully bold colours, but its reverse is a more modern cultural expression. Mixing contemporary colours with traditional symbols celebrating the relationship between the earth and sun, this pysanka reflects the evolution of a cherished artform—one that remains rooted in tradition yet offers endless creative possibilities.

Celebrate spring with a modern pysanka.

Special features

• The tradition continues. Our annual celebration of a Ukrainian cultural tradition continues to be wildly popular! Each egg-shaped pysanka coin is a precious metal showcase of an artform with layers of meaning.
• Colour with silver. Crafted in 1 oz. of 99.99% fine silver, your pysanka features a colourful, intricate design that incorporates glimpses of the coin’s naturally luminous silver surface.

• Past coins sold out. Our fine silver pysanka coin has been a bestseller every year since 2016, and all previous pysanka coins have sold out quickly.
• Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
