2018 Canada $100 Frog Reveals A Gift 14k Gold Coin
Various stories have emerged over the centuries, and one of the most popular is the Kwakwaka'wakw legend of a man who ventured into the forest where he came across a magical frog as large as a man. Copper shone from its mouth, and despite its ability to suddenly disappear, the frog allowed the man to vanquish it. With great effort, the man rolled the frog over and found a stack of copper shields underneath-a luxury reserved for the highest-ranking chiefs who would display them at potlatches and use them to settle disputes. This coin is a brilliantly executed work of art that portrays the frog in the distinctive formline style of the Pacific Northwest, complete with a copper shield engraved on its tongue-a gift of wealth.
