2018 Canada $20 Golden Spring Pysanka (TAX Exempt)
Though many cultures regard the egg as one of spring's most enduring symbols, few do so as beautifully as the Ukrainian people, whose pysanka is a reminder of life's beginnings and the potential inherent in every living thing! Enhanced with reverse gold plating, this egg-shaped celebration of spring pays tribute to the tradition of the Ukranian Easter egg through the colours and motifs on its reverse.
