2025 $20 Fine Silver Pysanka Egg Coin

This 2025 $20 fine silver coin continues the tradition of celebrating life and the season of renewal through an intricately designed and selectively coloured Ukrainian pysanka egg.  All previous coins in this annual series that started in 2016 have sold out from the Royal Canadian Mint immediately upon release and have appreciated in value in the secondary market.

This year's pysanka design is a contemporary representation of the universe through cosmic symbols that embody endurance, protection and guardianship of life. Beneath the band containing the words "Canada 2025" is the Ukrainian rose that traditionally serves as an expression of love and devotion also symbolizes the sun—the powerful giver of life and light, and the centre of all knowledge—and welcomes its return in the spring, when the cycle of life is renewed. The field in the centre portion contains dots that send down light from the heavens, as well as several eight-pronged stars, their fixed points signifying eternity, while the unbroken lines that run along the rim represent the continuous thread of life. The eight-point star motif in the centre symbolizes strength, life and fire, while the angled squares containing star variations create a different viewing experience from different angles.

Repeating throughout the design, the cross shapes symbolize life itself while the triangles represent the life-giving properties of the trinity of air, fire and water. Indented lines in a saw shape recall the life-giving properties of the sun, curled lines represent protection, and ladder lines represent both the stairway to the heavens and the ability to separate good from evil. The colours used throughout the design also carry symbolic weight: red, signifying action and joy; orange, the colour of passion and the everlasting sun; yellow, which signifies light and purity; and blue, the airy colour of good health. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
