The coin, resembling a painted Easter egg, was minted in Canada. While collectors of unusual numismatic products were thinking about how to get this coin, the entire circulation has already been sold out...
The Royal Mint has already issued at least eight pysanka-shaped coins. This copy is decorated with sunflowers and a minted profile of Queen Elizabeth II.
The 250 Canadian dollar coin is made from 58.5 grams of pure gold. But what is remarkable, its redemption price reached 7 thousand dollars.
A total of 275 such coins were minted. They were sold a few days later, and the proceeds were used to help Ukrainians who suffered from Russian aggression.
This is not the first time that foreign countries issue coins, the proceeds of which are used to support our country. Recently, Estonia has issued nearly 2 million commemorative coins.
