2014 $20 Fine Silver Proof Coin with Selective Gold Plating - Nanaboozhoo and the Thunderbird

This 2014 $20 pure silver coin was designed by Canadian Ojibwa artist Cyril Assiniboine, and presents an artistic depiction of the Legend of Nanaboozhoo using a brilliant gold and silver contrast of selective gold plating.  

After climbing the highest cliff to reach the thunderbirds' nest, Nanaboozhoo has incurred the horrible wrath of the thunderbirds by plucking feathers from their young to strengthen his arrow. One thunderbird looms in the background as it closes in on Nanaboozhoo, with lightning crackling from its eyes and thunder rolling from its beak. A full-face view of Nanaboozhoo allows for his traditional Western Ojibwa dress to be seen in greater detail. This coin is engraved with the word "Canada," the date "2014" and the face value of "20 dollars." As a pure silver coin struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, this item is HST/GST exempt.

Storytelling has long been a rich oral tradition for Indigenous cultures. 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 Indigenous 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 even everyday life.
