It is said that from the first snowfall to the first clap of thunder, elders impart history, traditions, and life lessons to the younger generation through rich narratives filled with allegories and imagery. For the Aboriginal Peoples, these tales - and the messages they convey - form deep connections to who they are, how they relate to the world, their ceremonial rituals, and everyday life. Often, these stories revolve around characters that possess physical and personality traits akin to humans, animals, plants, and the elements. For the Anishinaabe, an important cultural character is Nanaboozhoo. As a shape-shifting spirit, he teaches right from wrong through his adventures, while offering lessons on how to live in harmony with the natural world. Each coin in the series tells part of the story – collect them all! Special features: · This coin was designed by Cyril Assiniboine. He is a renowned self-taught Ojibwa artist and a pow-wow dancer who enjoys illustrating the cultural traditions of his people. (The spelling of "Nanaboozhoo" varies among bands of the Ojibwa. "Winaboozhoo" is found among the Lake Superior Chippewa bands. Chippewa is an Anglicized variation of the tribal designation: Ojibwe, which also has the variant spelling, Ojibwa. "The Walleye War" by Larry Nesper provides a wealth of information about the Lake Superior Chippewa Bands and their struggle for Ojibwe spearfishing and Treaty Rights in late 20th Century Wisconsin.) · This stunning coin offers an artistic representation of Nanaboozhoo, a key character in many Aboriginal stories. · Each coin in this unique new series pays homage to the time-honored cultural tradition of Aboriginal storytelling through its depictions of the beloved Ojibwa Legend of Nanaboozhoo. · A pure gold coin, with limited worldwide mintage of only 3,000 coins. Design: Designed by Canadian artist Cyril Assiniboine, who is Ojibwa, this coin is a richly detailed effigy of Nanaboozhoo. While the aboriginal cultural hero is quick to transform into a rabbit in many legends, here he is represented in human form with his face painted. Seen in three-quarter profile, Nanaboozhoo is dressed in a traditional Western Ojibwa dress; feathers stand atop his fur headdress as his long, braided hair spills out from under it. Packaging: Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell case protected by a custom beauty box featuring the original painting.

Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces. However, tilting the coin may resulting one side being slightly out of focus. Our goal is to provide clear, high definition photos that accurately represent the coin(s) offered in each of our eBay listings. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
