2026 $15 Fine Silver Coin - Clan Animals: Sandhill Crane

The Coin Company is proud to present the 2026 $15 Fine Silver Coin - Clan Animals: Sandhill Crane by the Royal Canadian Mint.

The Sandhill Crane stands tall among the reeds, a poised sentinel who serves as the guiding voice of the Anishinabek. The air often trembles with its trumpeting call—a sound that has, since time immemorial, summoned gatherings and affirmed connection between people.

Coin #1 reflects the poise and authority of Ajijaak (the Crane), a living emblem of guidance and collective purpose. Revered as one of the core clans of the Anishinabek, Ajijaak carries the weight of leadership and wisdom, and the power to reach beyond the horizon.         

KEY FEATURES   

• A sleek, contemporary palette pairs bold, elemental forms—like the sun and the top of the Sandhill Crane’s head, rendered here in striking red—with the understated elegance of soft earth tones.
• First RCM collaboration with artist Mark Nadjiwan, a member of Neyaashiinigmiing Unceded First Nation (near Owen Sound, Ont.).     
• Available for individual purchase or with a series subscription that unlocks a special bonus: an RCM-branded black clamshell case that holds all three coins together—a free collector exclusive that ships with the first coin.    
• Crafted in ¾ oz. of 99.99% pure silver.    
• Mintage limited 10,000 coins.
