Pysanka coin from the Royal canadian mint

Canada has introduced a new coin in 2020 – $ 250 in the form of a Pysanka. The novelty of 999 gold in the form of an Easter egg was released in a circulation of only 200 pieces. The weight is 58.5 grams, the dimensions are 45 and 33 mm between the most distant points. Each coin is accompanied by a document certifying the authenticity of the copy.

The design was created by canadian artist Natalie Kit, who depicted the tree of life - a symbol of growth and prosperity that connects the celestial, terrestrial and underground spheres. The top of the tree is decorated with an eight-pointed star - the symbol of the sun. All details of the pattern are carefully engraved and represent elements of the visual symbolic language of Easter eggs. Often drawings convey a whole story, and the decoration of the coin is no exception. On the reverse side is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created by Suzanne blunt.
