While purple signifies fidelity and trust, periwinkle (barvinok) is associated with unity and eternity – its purple flowers are considered a harbinger of spring, and its evergreen leaves make it a year-round symbol of resilience. An important cultural symbol of Ukraine, barvinok traditionally adorns Easter baskets and the wedding bread (korovai), and is woven into wedding wreaths worn by the bride and groom during the ceremony.

Diamonds represent knowledge and the four corners of the earth, while nets denote the division of good from evil and right from wrong. The eight-pointed star motif – an ancient symbol of the sun and the return of spring – appears alongside stylized flowers, flanked by periwinkle (barvinok) leaves and vines; together, these symbols radiate hope and resilience while celebrating the relationship between the earth and the sun, and the cyclical nature of life. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.Tanya Mykytiuk, Artist“This pysanka coin design was inspired by the recent wave of Ukrainians who arrived in Canada seeking refuge and new beginnings, just as my own grandparents did after the Second World War. My goal was to create a design that radiated hope, faith and resilience, by drawing on ancient pysanka symbols but with a contemporary aesthetic. For colour, I drew inspiration from nature: barvinok (periwinkle) is an evergreen vine with bright green leaves and purple flowers, often the first to appear in spring.”TANYA MYKYTIUK, ARTISTAlicia Cook Sapene, Product Manager“Our vision for 2024 was to offer a colourful floral design that celebrates the powerful relationship between the earth and sun – a design that is inspired by diasporan pysanky and rooted in traditional folk motifs, but with contemporary colours. Smoothly transitioning between vibrant colours and the unmistakable shine of 99.99% pure silver, the reverse design is sure to brighten every collection.”ALICIA COOK SAPENE, PRODUCT MANAGER Your package will be shipped within 3 days.PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A PROBLEM BEFORE GIVING YOUR FEEDBACK.Also note, that it is the customer's responsibility to pay any duties or taxes for any goods shipped to an international address.
