These stories are passed down to each new generation of artists and storytellers, inspiring them to create beautiful interpretations of these timeless tales, as seen on this 99.99% pure silver coin. Developed in collaboration with Nunatsiavut artist Bronson Jacque, this coin’s reverse design simultaneously honours the Raven of legends while presenting a new, original take: here, the engraved raven is a representation of our grounded selves, while the hologram-enhanced raven speaks to the power of storytelling and its ability to lift our creative spirits to new heights. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the artist’s own words, “the coin is a reminder that we are more than what we show of ourselves, that we have a colourful world within, one that is capable of creating a light in the darkest of nights.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe raven is one of the most common birds in Canada’s Arctic region, and one of the few bird species that resides there year-round. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story on your coin’s reverse was developed in collaboration with Nunatsiavut artist Bronson Jacque, who presents a new interpretation of the traditional Raven figure of Inuit legends. Realistically depicted on the lower engraved portion of the design, a raven perched on a branch and surrounded by trees represents each of us, grounded in our sense of self. The other, rendered in bas-relief, gleefully soars high into the sky upon realizing they are Raven, Creator of Life. An achromatic hologram—a three-dimensional image created with nanotechnology-based imagining—softens the full moon’s features and captures its magnificent luminosity, while the aurora borealis dances in the night sky. The spectrum of colours seemingly shifts depending on the viewing angle, creating the illusion of motion as it illuminates the raven’s feathers. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRCM Number: 249863 or 251033\u003cbr\u003eMintage: 7,500 \u003cbr\u003eComposition: 99.99% pure silver\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 31.39 g \u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 38 mm \u003cbr\u003eFace Value: $20 \u003cbr\u003eFinish: Proof\u003cbr\u003eEdge: Serrated \u003cbr\u003eArtist: Bronson Jacque (reverse), Steven Rosati (obverse) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReach for the moon.\u003c\/b\u003e Raven soars to new heights under a magical, multicoloured night sky on this hologram-enhanced 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Royal Canadian Mint’s only hologram coin in 2025. \u003c\/b\u003e The holographic effect illuminates the raven’s feathers and adds a soft glow to the highly detailed rendering of the moon, ultimately transforming the night sky into a luminous, multicoloured backdrop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVisually tactile. \u003c\/b\u003e The holographic colours shift depending on the viewing angle, making it seem like the 3D-like bird is in motion, while the aurora borealis dances in the moonlit sky.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVisual storytelling at its best. \u003c\/b\u003e Developed in collaboration with a Nunatsiavut artist, this coin pays tribute to the Raven of Inuit legends while presenting a new, original take on this cultural figure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe return of the achromatic hologram. \u003c\/b\u003e Does this hologram 3D effect look familiar?
