Canada: 2025 Moon Phases Pure Silver Puzzle Coin Set

Canada: 2025 Moon Phases Pure Silver Puzzle Coin Set

Design: Inspired by the Lunar cycle and the Moon’s influence on nature, the assembled eight-piece puzzle set features a reverse design by artist Caitlin Lindstrom-Milne, with black rhodium plating setting the tone for a nighttime view.

The round centrepiece features a nocturnal landscape inhabited by bats, wolves and bears, and illuminated by a full Moon that appears larger near the horizon, allowing a clear view of its surface features. Around this central piece, seven interconnecting, puzzle-shaped pieces share the same engraved, forest-themed design. On each piece, selective black rhodium plating conceals most of the engraving in order to reveal a different Moon phase and a known nocturnal or crepuscular Canadian animal (clockwise from the right/3 o’clock position): white-tailed deer for the new Moon; a Great Horned Owl for the waxing crescent; wolves for the first quarter; a North American beaver for the waxing gibbous; a Common Nighthawk for the waning gibbous; grizzly bears for the third quarter; and little brown bats for the waning crescent Moon.
