Description

The last coin in the Clan Animals series, Nigig, the Otter, embodies the joy that heals and the balance that sustains. While Nigig’s grace in the water mirrors the ease with which it moves through life’s currents, its playful spirit reminds the Anishinabek that lightness is not separate from strength, but part of the healing that restores harmony—for connection and joy are themselves powerful medicines. Enhanced with colour, this ¾ oz. 99.99% pure silver coin honours Nigig’s special gifts: the ability to weave play into life’s serious work; and as a bringer of kinship, to keep hearts open and communities whole. Third and final coin in the series. Special features Last coin in the series. The three-coin Clan Animals series celebrates clan animals central to Anishinabek identity and teachings. Each work reflects their enduring role as spiritual guides and living links between the Anishinabek and the animal world. First RCM collaboration.
