Canada is a big, beautiful country filled with awe-inspiring sights—from imposing landscapes to rare sightings of animals that represent our untamed spirit. The Imposing Icons series by Canadian artist Maurade Baynton celebrates Canada’s rugged beauty by inviting you to get up close and personal with our wild animal icons. Splendidly engraved as a backdrop, the spaces they inhabit are every bit as captivating as our picture-perfect portrait of each species. And with a 50 mm diameter that allows plenty of room for a nose-to-muzzle meeting, these four coins might be your closest wildlife encounter yet. Each large format 50 mm coin has a $30 denomination and is struck in over two ounce of pure silver with selective colour. The obverse of each coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Mintage is limited to just 2,500 of each coin. GST/HST exempt.
The Bighorn Sheep coin will be shipped with your order, with an additional coin sent every second month as they are released by the Royal Canadian Mint. The first coin will come displayed in a custom four coin case, with spaces to add the remaining coins as they are released. Issue price is $189.95 per coin.
