Coin designed by Métis artist

The Royal Canadian Mint’s newest $20 fine silver hologram coin was designed by Métis Nation of Ontario citizen and artist Nathalie Bertin. Entitled A story of the Northern Lights: The Great Hare displays the Odawa legend of Nanahboozho sitting by his fire that creates the northern lights. The colourful lights are highlighted with a uniquely shaped hologram that mimics their movement in the night sky. Only 8,500 coins have been minted.
