From the sky to the sea, this 99.99% pure silver coin dives into the cool Pacific waters for an unforgettable view of the Orca, guardian of the sea. The selectively gold-plated design by Kwakiutl artist Jason Hunt is styled to resemble a hand-carved cedar panel, with the engraved woodgrain pattern and rope-shaped rim on both sides completing the look. On the reverse, the expressive forms and flowing lines convey chaos amid the waves, as the Orca hunts the Salmon on a moonlit night. It is an exquisite tribute to the guardian spirit that traditionally represents family and strength, and a gorgeous snapshot of Kwakwaka’wakw culture. GST/HST Exempt.

The Design:
This 2025 coin keeps the focus on Kwakwaka’wakw art and the Kwakiutl carving tradition while paying homage to the Orca, guardian of the sea, as it hunts the Salmon by the light of the moon on the coin’s reverse.
