Comment

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

The largest and most powerful of Canada's big cats, the cougar (Puma concolor) is a master of camouflage in the Canadian wilderness. Its remarkably long tail helps it maintain a graceful balance as it steps sure-footed over the terrain, while its vision and hearing are perfectly adapted to the nocturnal hunt.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 100 Dollars - Elizabeth II (Cougar) 2017 coin from Canada 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 elements and the silver background. This design element adds an extra layer of depth and visual interest to the coin, making it a truly distinctive piece for collectors.
