AN INSPIRATIONAL PSYANKA
Paired with solar symbols and basking in the gleam of 99.99% pure gold, the finely engraved motif of a ram standing on a mountain delivers an inspiring message for 2024 (and beyond).
DID YOU KNOW?
The ram is a popular Ukrainian art motif and has long appeared on pysanky (the plural of “pysanka”). The curved spirals that represent a ram’s horns (“rizhky”) are an ancient symbol of leadership and perseverance—they even appear on ancient Trypillian pottery from the Neolithic era (5500-2750 BCE).
Designed by artist Dave Melnychuk, your pysanka coin’s reverse features a central motif of a ram—a traditional symbol of strength and perseverance—standing on a mountain peak, with the moon and rising sun in the sky. The inspiring scene is framed by a diamond shape symbolizing the earth and the notion of stability. The eternity bands contain curls and spirals inspired by the symbolism and appearance of the ram, while eight-pointed stars represent the sun and celebrate spring as the season of renewal and rebirth. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
