Reverse descriptionThe seven stars that make up the Big Dipper are arguably one of the most recognized formations in the night sky. They are visible year-round from northern latitudes, and have inspired countless legends around the globe. Many First Nations legends describe the Big Dipper as a great bear who is hunted ceaselessly by three hunters. The coin gives the account how the hunters struck the bear, but only managed to wound it. This is why leaves turn red in autumn.
