2022 Pysanka Ukrainian Easter Egg 1 oz Pure Silver Coloured

2022 Pure Silver Pysanka: A Symbol of Hope and Heritage

Celebrate the rich traditions of Ukrainian-Canadian culture with the seventh installment of the Royal Canadian Mint’s acclaimed Pysanka series. This 1 oz 99.99% pure silver coin is struck in a unique egg-shaped format, authentically replicating the intricate art of the pysanka. The 2022 edition holds profound historical significance, as net proceeds were dedicated to the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal.

Centuries-Old Motifs and Vibrant Symbolism

Designed by artist Dave Wasylyshen, the reverse features traditional motifs "written" into the silver. Central starburst and rose patterns symbolize beauty and life, while diamond shapes represent wisdom. The vibrant color palette carries deep meaning: blue for health, red for passion, yellow for light, and black for eternity. Every geometric element, from the "sieve" triangles to the saw-like outer bands, weaves together a narrative of family prosperity and resilience.

A Sold-Out Tradition

Every pysanka release since 2016 has achieved an immediate sell-out, making this series a cornerstone for high-authority Canadian collections. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Struck in a brilliant proof finish with a plain edge, this limited mintage of 5,500 coins arrives in a premium Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a serialized certificate of authenticity.
