Pure Silver Coloured Pysanka Coin for 2022. For the past seven years, the Mint has issued pysanka-themed collector coins, a spring tradition that pays tribute to Ukrainian culture and artistry in Canada.

Don’t miss your chance to own the 2022 edition-order yours today! This intricately patterned pysanka coin combines colours and motifs that have symbolic significance. Its reverse design also makes use of the coin’s proof finish, weaving the mirror-like shine of 99.99% pure silver with dazzling colours. Only 5,500 are available to collectors worldwide. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins. Your pysanka coin’s reverse is designed by Canadian artist Dave Wasylyshen. The centre band features the word “CANADA”, a denomination of “20 DOLLARS” and the year, “2022″. The two main bands feature starburst and rose motifs symbolizing beauty, love, life and good fortune. The larger diamond and triangle shapes represent knowledge and wisdom; smaller triangles represent family, while the triangles with an inside sieve pattern signify the division of good and evil. Two outer bands contain a saw-like pattern that symbolizes loyalty and the sun’s rays, while the waves represent water and wealth. By using four or more colours, this pysanka conveys a blessing for a family’s prosperity: blue for the sky and good health; red for passion and happiness; yellow for youth and light; white for purity and birth; and black for eternity and the darkest time before dawn. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Your 2022 fine silver pysanka features a vibrant mix of colours that are commonly seen on Ukrainian Easter eggs. But a blue colour was historically difficult to produce-it was rarely seen before the advent of modern dyes, which opened up many more design possibilities. You don’t paint a pysanka, you write one-the word “pysanka” comes from the verb pysaty, meaning to write. ” And you can have one pysanka, but if you’ve collected every fine silver pysanka coin issued since 2016, you own six pysanky (the plural form of “pysanka)-soon to be seven with this 2022 edition. Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box and COA. This item is in the category “Coins & Paper Money\Coins: Canada\Commemorative”.
