Released in 1999, it comes with a reverse design that depicts the oldest and most traditional forms of Inuit music and culture: drumming. Up to this day, it remains integral in both their spiritual and social life. It is made of 92.5% silver and a mintage of 39,873, it is a welcome addition to your collection, especially if you are fascinated with different indigenous culture and more.
