The first coin in the exciting new Clan Animals series from the Royal Canadian Mint pays tribute to the Sandhill Crane (Ajijaak), a powerful symbol of leadership, wisdom, and guidance in Anishinabek culture. This stunning 2026 $15 Proof coin features a bold, contemporary design by Anishinabe artist Mark V. Nadjiwan. The Sandhill Crane is beautifully rendered with elegant feathers in soft earth tones, while the striking red accents on the head and the rising sun create a powerful visual impact.

Struck from 23.17g of 99.99% pure silver in flawless Proof quality, this coin measures 36.07mm and is presented in a premium black clamshell case with a black beauty box. With a limited mintage of only 10,000 coins worldwide, this is the perfect starting piece for collectors of Canadian Indigenous-themed coins and the new Clan Animals series.

A culturally significant and visually stunning release — an excellent addition to any Canadian or Indigenous-themed silver collection.
