Reverse descriptionThe coin’s reverse re‑creates carved images from the original red cedar panel carved by Chief James Hart (7IDANsuu). It brings together traditional Haida figures—a Shaman, the Beaver, Raven, Eagle, Frog, Orca and Mother Bear with cubs—whose life deeply depends on the Salmon, represented in human and animal form along the edge. Six pearlescent pieces of responsibly sourced New Zealand abalone are also inlayed along the coin’s edge, where their aquatic hues shimmer in the light and their shapes resemble the Haida copper shields that serve as traditional markers of wealth.
