Canada: 2018 $3 The Thirteen Teachings From Grandmother Moon: Flower Moon Fine Silver Coin

Design: Algonquin artist Frank Polson has created a captivating image of a full moon filling the sky as it sits low on the horizon behind a tree whose bare branches are dotted with the vivid green of new growth. A detail of a springtime flower is on the left, its vibrant colours showcasing the life-giving powers that animate all of nature. The use of bold lines, and the insertion of vivid colour within black areas as if to reveal what lies within, is a signature design element in woodland art.
