From the Native Cultures and Traditions Limited Edition Series by the Royal Canadian Mint, this is one of the most original and most beautiful Canadian coins ever issued.
The inspiration for this design is the Haida cultural hero, Raven. The ancient narrative tells of a time when Raven reclaimed the sun back from the chief of the earth. For Davidson, this design brings an ancient narrative to contemporary Haida and non-Haida alike, so that we may come to know the importance of tradition within his community.
Raven Bringing Light to the World was introduced to the world at Expo 86’ in Vancouver, B.C
