This exquisite 99.99% pure gold pysanka coin is a luminous fusion of artistry and heritage, and at its heart lies a springtime celebration of grace and harmony. The reverse design draws the eye with its layered elegance, inviting contemplation and admiration for the multi-petalled rose, as each curve and floral-inspired shape speaks of balance and growth. Whether cherished as a keepsake or an unforgettable gift, this precious pysanka carries with it the warmth of love, the strength of resilience, and the quiet radiance of life’s enduring beauty.

A pure gold ode to love, life and tradition.

Designed by Canadian artist Dave Melnychuk, the pysanka design on your gold coin’s reverse features a rose—a timeless emblem of love, cherished across cultures for its beauty and profound meaning—as its central motif. Various floral shapes add layers of symbolism to the design, with thorns representing protection and strength, and a connection to royalty and divinity; buds signifying renewal and the promise of life; and intertwining vines embodying growth and resilience. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

Traditionally depicted with eight pointed petals, the rose on pysanky symbolizes love and caring; it also evokes the brilliance of a star, blending ancient symbolism with a radiant expression of love and life.

Special Features

Welcome spring. Celebrate the traditions and symbolism of spring with this exquisite 99.99% pure gold pysanka tribute to beauty and harmony.
The art of intricate engraving. This coin combines the rich gleam of pure gold with intricate art, brought to life by the highest level of minting craftsmanship.
A coveted rare beauty. The 2026 gold pysanka is a low-mintage, high-demand collector’s item: pysanka coins sell out quickly, and only 350 coins are available to collectors worldwide.
The tradition continues in 2026. Ten years after The Royal Canadian Mint’s very first pysanka coin (a fine silver one in 2016), the theme continues to be a collector favourite! This is their eighth pure gold pysanka—collect them all.
Centuries of tradition. This egg-shaped pysanka coin is a precious metal showcase of a centuries-old artform with layers of meaning, and a celebration of Ukrainian Canadian traditions.
No GST/HST.

Packaging:
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
