Comment
The strapping bighorn sheep is right at home in one of Canada’s most scenic, most photographed and perhaps most daunting landscapes. Other species might stick to lower elevations but this natural climber easily travels along the slopes of the Canadian Rockies, where it grazes in the valleys or ascends to heightsthat give it a commanding view.The bighorn sheep has broomed the tips of his fully curled horns—they typically break them off at eye level in order to see past them. You can see the scars on its face from battles previously waged.

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that the Bighorn Sheep design on the reverse side of the coin was created by Canadian artist and naturalist, Robert Bateman. Bateman is known for his realistic and detailed wildlife artwork, and his design for this coin features a majestic bighorn sheep standing on a rocky outcropping, surrounded by the Canadian Rockies. The design is meant to symbolize the strength and resilience of the bighorn sheep, as well as the natural beauty of the Canadian wilderness.
