Comment

This bighorn sheep coin is the fourth in the Sculpture of Majestic Canadian Animals coin series, which depicts animals in a uniquely multi-dimensional approach

The bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) is famous for effortlessly ascending the steep slopes of Canada’s Rocky Mountains, where the ram’s curled horns are a symbol of status. The male's curled horns are a symbol of status that determines its place in the herd's hierarchy—but should its dominance come into question, these horns become an imposing weapon.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Elizabeth II (Bighorn Sheep) 2017 coin is that it features a unique combination of gold plating and selective gold plating on the sculpture, which creates a striking contrast between the shiny gold and the silver background. This adds an extra layer of depth and dimension to the design, making it a truly eye-catching piece for collectors.
