PHASES OF THE MOON – 2017 $30 3 oz Fine Silver 3 Coin Set – Royal Canadian Mint
The moon illuminates the darkness, provides guidance and direction. Since ancient times, the moon has been humanity’s guardian of the night. As it moved across the sky changing from dark to light, the moon reflected the cyclical rhythms of life. This captivating three-coin set portrays three moon phases with translucent enamel creating the shadow that defines the new and waxing gibbous moon.

- Our first 2 oz coins featuring enamel and presented as a 3-coin set.

DESIGN
Kwakwaka’wakw artist Andy Everson has created three distinct facial expressions that reveal the moon’s progression from youthful new moon, to mature and wise full moon.
