2014 $25 FINE SILVER COIN MATRIARCH MOON MASK
First Nations culture is rich with profound wisdom that eloquently expresses the inter-connectedness between humanity and all of nature. The terms “Mother Earth” and “Grandmother Moon” clearly reflect the similarities that First Nations people see between these two spheres and the foundational and nourishing role women play in their communities.
This coin is 99.99% pure silver with a diameter of 36.15 millimetres and a metal weight of 30.76 grams.
