Turtle Island - 1 oz. 999.9 Fine Silver Coin - 20$ Canada 2026
 
Turtle Island, a celebration of creation and connection. 
Inspired by the Ojibwe creation story of Turtle Island—a sacred tale of renewal, courage and kinship—this 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin honours the deep wisdom of Indigenous storytelling. The colourful scene envisions the moment the world was formed upon the turtle’s back, after the muskrat’s brave dive brought forth the soil that made life possible. With trees and flowers now rooted in harmony, Turtle Island is a living story of resilience and respect, reminding us that when we care for the land and its creatures, we nurture the future of all our communities.
 
Where water, land and spirit come together in a timeless balance.
