The Design:
Designed by artist Dave Melnychuk, the 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.
