The selectively gold-plated design by Kwakiutl artist Jason Hunt is styled to resemble a hand-carved cedar panel, with the engraved woodgrain pattern and rope-shaped rim on both sides completing the look. On the reverse, the expressive forms and flowing lines convey chaos amid the waves, as the Orca hunts the Salmon on a moonlit night. It is an exquisite tribute to the guardian spirit that traditionally represents family and strength, and a gorgeous snapshot of Kwakwaka’wakw culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA continuation of 2024’s \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.coinsunlimited.ca\/royal-canadian-mint-coins-sets-singles\/first-nations\/2024-Canada-30-Fine-Silver-Coin-The-Hunter-2oz-Fine-Silver-Coin\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe Hunter\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA stunning tribute to the guardian spirit.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe follow up to 2024’s The Hunter, this 2025 coin keeps the focus on Kwakwaka’wakw art and the Kwakiutl carving tradition while paying homage to the Orca, guardian of the sea.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyled to resemble a Kwakiutl carved wood panel.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCrafted in 2 oz. of 99.99% pure silver, your coin is styled to resemble a hand-carved Kwakiutl wood panel, with selective gold plating highlighting the formline style that is characteristic of Northwest Coast art.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA spotlight on Indigenous storytelling.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRich, diverse and full of meaning, Indigenous art in all its many forms is a visual representation of traditions carried forward, one generation at a time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA proud artistic legacy.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eArtist Jason Hunt comes from a long line of internationally renowned Kwakiutl carvers and artists who have been instrumental in the survival and resurgence of Kwakiutl art.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes serialized certificate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo GST\/HST.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRope frame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor 2024’s The Hunter, we pushed the striking process to the limit by adding a decorative rim to both sides of the coin, and that cedar bark rope frame appears on this 2025 coin, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWoodgrain pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo complete the look, an engraved woodgrain pattern fills the field on both the reverse and the obverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Kwakiutl artist Jason Hunt and rendered in the Northwest Coast formline style, the reverse depicts the Orca, guardian of the sea, hunting the Salmon by the light of the moon.
