Bullion coin.
The great horned owl (Bubo virginianus), also known as the tiger owl, is an extremely adaptable bird with a vast range and is the most widely distributed true owl in North, Central and South America. Its primary diet are rabbits and hares, rats, mice and voles, although it freely hunts any animal it can overtake. As Canada's most common bird of prey, the great horned owl is a symbol of power and agility.
A unique feature for cutting-edge security, a micro-engraved lasered maple leaf in the coin's field. In the centre of this mark, visible under magnification, is the numeral "21", denoting the coin's year of issue.
Interesting fact
The Great-Horned Owl coin is a unique and interesting piece because it features a stunning design of an owl perched on a branch, with intricate details and a high level of craftsmanship. The coin's design is so detailed that you can even see the individual feathers on the owl's body. Additionally, the coin is made of 99.99% pure silver, which gives it a high level of collectibility and value.
