2022 Canada $250 Pysanka Pure Gold Coin (No Tax)

2022 Canada $250 Pysanka Pure Gold Coin (No Tax)

A gleaming 99.99% pure gold masterpiece! The tree-of-life symbolism on this luminous pure gold pysanka coin evokes the blessings of springtime: rebirth, growth, prosperity and strength. Intricately engraved and framed by an endless band of stars that radiate goodwill, its forest-themed reverse design represents a gift of hope and a wish for health, wealth and happiness.

This all-gold collector's item gives you the best of both worlds: a centuries-old art form that is rich in symbolism, and the highest-quality minting in the world.

Designed by Canadian artist Dave Melnychuk, your coin's reverse is a forest-themed celebration of spring. The central motif features the Tree of Paradise (or the Tree of Life), a foundational symbol that represents renewal and creation, health and wisdom, a long life and eternal youth. The Tree's fruit-bearing branches represent the days of the week and the anticipation of spring. The crowned kings of the forest, two noble deer stand on each side of the Tree and above the River of Paradise, where they symbolize wealth, prosperity and strength. Eight stars appear along the edge of the design, where these radiating symbols of good fortune form an eternity band that surrounds the central motif. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Special Features:

• The Royal Canadian Mint's annual Easter egg-shaped celebration of Ukrainian-Canadian culture is a collector favourite, and this springtime tradition continues in 2022!
• Crafted in 1 oz. of 99.99% pure gold, your coin features a very finely engraved design that highlights the symbolic language of the pysanka, and all its centuries-old motifs.
• The all-gold pysanka coin features a radiant, mirror-like shine that makes it a luminous celebration of spring.
• While this gold pysanka features a new forest-themed design for 2022, it continues our tradition of combining intricate detailing and polishes to ensure every aspect of the engraved art is of the highest calibre.
• Mintage is limited to 250 worldwide. Previous pysanka coins sold out quickly, and given its high visual appeal and low mintage, this prestige collectible will be a sought-after piece too.

Packaging:
Coin comes encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
