The dreamcatcher, composed of an external bent wood ring strung with an interior web of golden sinew, features bright blue quartz stones and a central opal. The bottom of the dreamcatcher is strung with rawhide ribbons decorated with red beads, as well as four orange and white wild bird feathers. This image is presented over a hologram of a blue sky dotted with white clouds. The reverse includes the word «CANADA», the date «2013», and the face value of «10 DOLLARS». |
A brief annotation | The weaving craft of the spider and the related mythology of the dream catcher are found in several Canadian First Nations traditions. According to Ojibwe custom, mothers and grandmothers weave dream catchers for their children in appreciation for Asibikaashi, who helps to bring the sun of a new day to her people. The dream catcher functions to catch bad dreams and thoughts while letting good dreams pass through the hole at the web’s centre. The image of the dream catcher has become for some North American first peoples an iconic identifying symbol of First Nations culture. |

Голограмма облаков придает этой монете какую-то сказочную наивность.

Симпатичная монета, но чтобы дать полную оценку необходимо на нее посмотреть в живую.
