The dreamcatcher: Celebrate a timeless symbol of love and protection. Order today!

More than a collectible, this 99.99% pure silver coin is a powerful tribute to Ojibwe heritage, brought to life through the artist’s representation of the dreamcatcher tradition. Crafted with deep intentionality, the design focuses on a matriarch—the creator of the dreamcatcher featured here—who is also seen nurturing her child within the form of the soaring Eagle that is a sacred connection to the Creator. From healing florals to wigwams representing community, every engraved element beautifully reflects the Anishinaabe understanding of balance, protection and the interconnectedness of all living things.

Modern artistry rooted in tradition.

Known as asabikeshiinh (“spider”) or bawaajige nagwaagan (“dream snare”) in the Ojibwe language, the dreamcatcher is believed to have the spiritual power to capture negative thoughts and nightmares, much like a spider’s web. It originated as a way of protecting the young, using willow hoops and sinew or cord to weave the protective charm that is then suspended from the cradle board, where the web’s holes allow positive thoughts to pass through and slide down the feathers to reach the sleeper below.

The reverse design by Anishinaabe artist Emily Kewageshig features a representation of the dreamcatcher as a symbol of love and protection, with elements reflecting the Anishinaabe worldview that emphasizes interconnectedness. Surrounded by flowers representing healing and wigwams representing community, a matriarch protects her child through the creation of a dreamcatcher, positioned at the top. She is seen nurturing her child within the form of the Eagle, who carries prayers and messages up to the Creator (Gchi Manidoo) and returns with the gifts of peace and harmony. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
