Royal Canadian Mint - Designed by Kahniakehaka artist Garrison Garrow, your coin captures the fast-paced energy of a modern powwow dance style: the Fancy Dance. A fancy dancer dominates your coin's design, where finely detailed engraving adds a sense of fast-paced movement while an application of colour highlights the intricate nature of the regalia. From the Thunderbird of the Plains peoples to the Iroquois design on the apron, the assemblage of motifs, textures and traditional elements (including the sacred eagle feathers) holds special meaning and speaks to the powwow's importance as a vibrant, cross-cultural exchange. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
