Totem poles are monumental carvings, a type of northwest coast art, consisting of poles, posts, or pillars, carved with symbols or figures. The word totem derives from the Algonquian most likely Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) word odoodem, (his) kinship group. The carvings may symbolize or commemorate ancestors, cultural beliefs that recount familiar legends, clan lineages, or notable events. The poles may also serve as functional architectural features, welcome signs for village visitors, mortuary vessels for the remains of deceased ancestors, or as a means to publicly ridicule someone. They may embody a historical narrative of significance to the people carving and installing the pole. Given the complexity and symbolic meanings of totem pole carvings, their placement and importance lies in the observer’s knowledge and connection to the meanings of the figures and the culture in which they are embedded. The reverse of the coin features a shaped and detailed totem pole. This coin includes the original mint box and numbered certificate of authenticity. 999 Silver Antiqued Coin PCGS MS70 FDI COA+Box.
