Thunderbird Mythology

The thunderbird, a legendary creature, holds a significant place within the cultural heritage of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas prior to the 15th century. According to thunderbird mythology, the thunderbird embodies a supernatural entity characterised by immense power and strength.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2009 Thunderbird Totem Gold Coin shows Susanna Blunt's effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The Inukshuk - a symbol of Canada's indigenous culture - appears to the left, with 'VANCOUVER 10' and the Olympic rings below.

This design beautifully combines natural elements with cultural heritage, making it a unique and valuable addition to any collection.

The portrait is encircled by the inscription:

50 DOLLARS • CANADA • ELIZABETH II • 2009 •

Reverse

The reverse of the 2009 Thunderbird Totem Gold Coin displays the impressive Thunderbird, which holds great significance in Indigenous cultures. The design is complemented by eleven maple leaves that appear to be fluttering in the wind generated by the bird's wings.

The inscription of the coin reads as:

9999 FINE GOLD 1OZ OR PUR
