2014 1oz $20 THE SEVEN SACRED TEACHINGS: LOVE - FINE SILVER COIN

The eagle is one of seven creatures featured in the Seven Sacred Teachings practiced by Aboriginal people throughout North America for living a full and happy life. Many groups refer to the eagle for its lesson of love; not merely love between two people, but more importantly, self-love. Without it, one cannot truly love another. Self-love propels us towards our destiny; it inspires us to be the best we can be and soar!

DESIGN:
Canadian artist Nathalie Bertin, who is Métis, has created a powerful image of an eagle soaring in flight while an abstract figure reaches out to embrace the eagle and its teachings of love. The eagle’s wings and tail feathers form the subtle shape of a heart while a background pattern of tobacco leaves, the plant associated with the lesson, reinforces the eagle’s teachings.
