Thimbleberry Moon shows us the sacred teachings of the spirit world, and inspires us to protect the circle of life. It's the eighth teaching from Grandmother Moon in Anishinaabe tradition that views the moon as a living relation who makes 13 appearances throughout the year to watch over Mother Earth's children and light their paths with her gentle wisdom. After three years of growth, the thimbleberry's branches produce the greatest bounty of fruit before dying out. But even as these branches appear lifeless, the spirit world is creating new stems to provide more berries. As one of the first plants put on Mother Earth, thimbleberry reveals the unseen force of Creation and teaches us to preserve the sacred circle of life.

Design:
Algonquin artist Frank Polson has created a captivating image of a full moon filling the sky behind a tree. A thimbleberry stem appears on the left with various stages of growth: a flower, an unripe fruit, and succulent berries. A new sprout on the lower left of the stem is connected to the unripe fruit by a black line and a rounded shape of concentric rings—signature design elements in woodland art that represent the energetic relationship between "beings"—the spirit world that animates all things and preserve the sacred circle of life.

Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
