1 oz 99.99% Pure Silver | Limited Mintage 9,500
Celebrate the beauty of spring with the stunning 2026 Pysanka Fine Silver Coin, an exquisite collectible from the Royal Canadian Mint that honours the ancient Ukrainian Easter egg tradition through vibrant colour, symbolism, and masterful engraving.
Struck in 99.99% pure silver, this limited-mintage coin continues the beloved annual Pysanka series that collectors have eagerly anticipated since 2016. The 2026 edition celebrates spring’s renewal and the harmony of nature, showcasing a delicate floral arrangement of scilla, forget-me-nots, and pussy willows — early blooms that help sustain pollinators during the first warm days of the season.
The intricate pysanka design blends traditional Ukrainian symbolism with contemporary colour, while selective silver accents allow the brilliance of pure silver to shine through the artwork. Geometric borders and ancient motifs symbolize the elements of earth, water, air, and the life-giving sun, representing hope, fertility, and the cycle of life.
With a limited worldwide mintage of only 9,500 coins, the 2026 Pysanka continues one of the Royal Canadian Mint’s most popular collectible traditions.
