2018 $20 Golden Spring Pysanka - Pure Silver Coin

A Collectible Piece of Art

The Golden Spring Pysanka is not simply a silver coin. Produced in a strictly limited edition of only 5,000 pieces worldwide, it is a collectible art object that combines precious metal, colour, and exceptional craftsmanship in a truly unique form. Created to be displayed, admired, and preserved, it appeals equally to collectors, art lovers, and those searching for an exceptional gift.

This collector coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2018 is struck from 1 oz of 99.99% pure silver and was the first coin in the renowned Pysanka series to feature reverse gold plating, combining precious metal craftsmanship with vibrant artistic design.

Inspired by the traditional art of pysanka and its distinctive Ukrainian folk motifs, the coin reflects centuries-old decorative traditions associated with life, renewal, prosperity, and the arrival of spring. Rich ornamentation and vibrant colours transform this cultural heritage into a remarkable miniature work of art.

Created by Canadian artist Ann C. Morash, the design features intricate ornaments, floral motifs, birds, stars, and symbolic geometric patterns associated with nature’s awakening and the changing seasons. Layers of vivid colour reveal the gold-plated surface beneath, creating exceptional depth and brilliance.

The obverse displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by renowned Canadian artist Susanna Blunt, enhanced by an elegant gold-plated background.

With a worldwide mintage of only 5,000 pieces, this release is highly sought after by collectors for its unusual egg-shaped format, artistic beauty, and limited availability.
