LE SAVIEZ-VOUS ?

The colours of a pysanka can also have deeper meaning: blue traditionally represents air and good health; purple signifies faith; green is associated with nature and hope; yellow for light and purity; and black for eternity.

Enhanced with contemporary colours, this pysanka design by Canadian artist Natalie Kit draws inspiration from spring’s renewal, seen in vivid flowers and ancient symbolism. The return of the sun brings joy, abundance and new plant life, with early blooms like scilla and forget-me-nots sustaining pollinators, while pussy willows—a symbol of strength, endurance and fertility—embody the season’s vitality. The top cap and bottom ground the design, with the triangle shapes embodying the life-giving trinity of air, fire/sun and water. Surrounded by wavy lines symbolizing nurturing water, the protective band contains floral forms intermixed with cross shapes representing the sun. On the other side of the eternity band, rhomboids and other shapes evoke fruitfulness, the earth and the goddess Berehynia, protectress of the home and family. The word “CANADA” and the year “2026” are engraved along the bottom. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

À PROPOS DE LA MONNAIE ROYALE CANADIENNE

La Monnaie royale canadienne est connue pour être l'une des monnaies les plus réputées au monde. La succursale d'Ottawa de la Monnaie royale a ouvert ses portes en 1908 et a été rebaptisée Monnaie royale canadienne en 1931 lorsque le contrôle a été transféré au gouvernement canadien. Ses normes élevées d'excellence et de qualité lui ont permis d'être la première raffinerie à fabriquer des pièces d'investissement en or d'une pureté de 9999 en 1982, ainsi que la première à atteindre une pureté d'or de 99999 en 1998.
