The selectively gold-plated design by Kwakiutl artist Jason Hunt is styled to resemble a hand-carved cedar panel, with the engraved woodgrain pattern and rope-shaped rim on both sides completing the look. On the reverse, the expressive forms and flowing lines convey chaos amid the waves, as the Orca hunts the Salmon on a moonlit night. It is an exquisite tribute to the guardian spirit that traditionally represents family and strength, and a gorgeous snapshot of Kwakwaka’wakw culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51180545507460,"sku":"250351","price":539.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/Screenshot_2025-09-01_130729__15647.1756754102.1280.1280.png?v=1759830200","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2025-30-the-ancestor-fine-silver-coin","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
