250 Dollars - Elizabeth II Pysanka

Canada's pysanka tradition, brought by Ukrainian immigrants who arrived in large numbers on the Prairies from the 1890s onward, became so rooted in Alberta that the town of Vegreville erected a 9-metre aluminum pysanka in 1975 — at the time the largest such structure in the world, engineered partly by a team that had worked on Apollo-era aerospace problems. This coin belongs to the Royal Canadian Mint's broader indigenous and multicultural craft series, which has leaned increasingly on ultra-high relief and enamel or niello inlay work to do what flat engraving cannot.
