2015 $200 Pure Gold Coin Ultra-High Relief Singing Moon Mask

Singing is an integral part of Indigenous cultures throughout North America—so integral in fact, that many Indigenous languages don't have a word for "music." People sing day or night to thank Mother Earth for all her gifts, to express love, to heal the sick, to ask for a successful hunt, and to seek guidance. Night is a particularly magical time for the K'ómoks and Kwakwaka'wakw First Nations in British Columbia as the community comes together to sing to the rhythmic beat of a drum. As masked dancers breathe movement into the song, the outside world falls away and the melody floats to the sky. Sound waves become moonlight and stars dance to reveal the inter-connectivity of all things.

Renowned Canadian artist Andy Everson has created this coin's bold and unique representation of a singing moon. The moon lights up the night sky as it sends its melodic voice in all four directions as depicted by the four oblong shapes positioned along its circumference. In response, the stars twinkle and dance, as represented by the dots and round contours between the oblong shapes. Every curve and detail is imbued with the rich artistic traditions of the K'ómoks and Kwakwaka'wakw First Nations in British Columbia.
