Description

This coin celebrates the work of master carver and Eagle Clan Chief James Hart. The original artwork that inspired this coin is 5m (16') wide and 3m (11') high, and weighs 1360 kg (3000 lbs)!

This dance screen was created to tell the urgent story of how the salmon population is diminishing and it's critical role in the ecosystem. This work of art brings together many who depend on the salmon, including a raven, beaver, frogs, eagles, salmon, salmon people, a shaman and Mother Bear at the centre of the design. Together they are all trying to awaken the viewer to the salmon's plight.

This coin is a true master work of engraving by the Royal Canadian Mint, and only the fourth 5kg coin they have created. Incredibly, each coin was struck eight times in order to achieve the coins spectacular level quality.

Your coin is encased in an acrylic box and, along with a serialized certificate in a book format, presented in an elegant RCM collectors box made of Canadian walnut wood.

For secure shipping, the collectors box is placed inside a watertight, crushproof, and dustproof Pelican Case 1550.
