Comment
AboutHauntingly beautiful, the aptly named snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus) makes a powerful impression after touching down on this 2 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin. Its reverse design is an engraved interpretation of Snowy Owl on Driftwood, an original work of art by internationally renowned wildlife artist Robert Bateman. In this portrait, Canada’s most famous owl has turned its attention away from the viewer, but there’s no mistaking the intensity of its piercing stare, which suggests a steely determination and a quiet strength.
