99.999% Pure Gold Enameled Coin Singing Moon Mask Mintage 300 (2015)

  
EXTREMELY RARE - 300 MINTAGE! UNIQUE: Selective coloured enamel applied by hand! Singing is an integral part of First Nations cultures throughout North America so integral in fact, that many Aboriginal languages don't have a word for music. People sing day or night to thank Mother Earth for all her gifts; to express love; to heal the sick; to ask for a successful hunt; to seek guidance.

Night is a particularly magical time for the K'ómoks and Kwakwaka'wakw First Nations in British Columbia as the community comes together to sing to the rhythmic beat of a drum. As masked dancers breathe movement into the song, the outside world falls away and the melody floats to the sky. Sound waves become moonlight and stars dance to reveal the inter-connectivity of all things. A beautiful combination of ultra-high relief design with selective enamel colouring.

Special features: A FIRST : Crafted in our unique 99.999% pure gold, your coin features colour and ultra-high relief! The Royal Canadian Mint is the only mint in the world able to create such a high purity level of gold. Stunning ultra-high relief features extra-deep contours that have been carved into the coin's surface and can only be achieved through additional strikes and extensive hand-crafting and polishing. The colourful enamel which accents the design is painstakingly applied by hand. Features an original design by renowned Canadian artist Andy Everson of the K'ómoks and Kwakwaka'wakw First Nations in British Columbia. An exceptional celebration of First Nations art and heritage.

One of A kind (12). Pricey / poor value (8).

Quality driven (21), Budget shopper (4). Great coin and comes in a great storage box. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. You may also flag this review.

As a collector, I found the hologram effects to be a bit lacking. I was expecting more from such a pricey coin. Other than that, the overall representation of the howling wolf and the Northern Lights is very eye-catching. Customers found this review helpful. The holographic effect is stunning.

Just in time as it turns out. I cannot understand why some complain about the poor holographic effect. My coin is flamboyant under natural and artificial light. Maybe there is some spread during minting.

The value and quality of this coin is (to me) much higher than that of any colored one. I hope that it will not tarnish for a long time, because I fear that the oxidation will destroy the effect. The only con: poor artistic image of the wolf. The front legs seem out of proportion (too thin). Beautiful design though have to hold the coin up to the light to really see the Hologram effect.

A Lover Of Art, Quality Driven. This is a Gift for my son. He loves wolves and this coin is perfect because not only is it a beautiful Wolf but the hologram effect of the Northern Lights is stupendous. Keep up the good work RCM. It's a Beauty, Eh! After having read other comments about not being able to see the colors & knowing that it's probably just how it was being held I took a chance and bought this coin. It's not in-your-face color as some may have liked it to be. It's more subtle but you can see various colors which come alive as you turn the coin. Love the wolf/northern lights theme. Comes in plastic encasement presented in a a nice little hinged box with cert. Possibly will give this as gift to a nephew. Great Addition To The Col. It's so awesome to see the shimmering Aurora Borealis as I turn the coin in the light.

Another remarkable product of the Royal Canadian Mint. Hologram not as visible as in the pictur. Not sure if a quality issue but cannot get the colours as per the picture -? No, I would not recommend this to a friend. Do you have questions about this product?
