2022 $20 1oz Pure Silver Coin – Generations: The Red River Métis

Honouring the “Flower Beadwork People”, these beads come together to form a dazzling floral motif that represents a living tradition for the Red River Métis. The second Generations coin celebrates the tradition of Métis beadwork, which is a proud expression of Métis culture and identity, and an exercise in visual storytelling, as seen on this coin. Today, this centuries-old artform is also a powerful statement of continuity, for each bead contributes to a gorgeous tapestry; and that signature craftsmanship is passed down from one generation to the next, inspiring others to create the patterns that stitch together a people’s past, present and future.

KEY FEATURES:

• Coin #2. The annual Generations series celebrates the transfer of knowledge through the stories of the First Peoples of Canada. The second coin highlights traditional Métis beadwork as a cherished art form and a proud cultural expression; on this coin, the beadwork pattern tells the story of the Red River Métis.
• Rooted in tradition. With every bead, the story unfolds: by sharing it with others, that story—and the act of its creation—lives on.
