Comment
This imposing animal with its lustrous coat knows how to keep a low profile. Canada's largest feline is most common in the West, where the forest cover allows it to hide well. Its large paws - clearly visible on the coin - help it to climb, prowl or pounce with agility, while its camouflage skills enable it to discreetly shadow its prey until the fateful moment. All the pieces in our new annual series are made of 99.999% pure gold, the highest gold purity available. Each piece in the Canadian Wildlife Art series is an incursion into the Canadian wilderness and an intimate encounter with a large animal in its natural habitat - a wonder of nature that looks as if it has been brought to life, so carefully has it been depicted and engraved.Did you know?
The Puma concolor's territory is vast, stretching from the northern border of British Columbia to the southern tip of Argentina. This explains why the species is known by several names, such as "mountain lion" and "puma".
The cougar's front legs are smaller than its hind legs, but their tips (equipped with retractable claws) are massive and powerful enough to enable it to hold down its favorite prey: deer.
This stealthy hunter works alone, usually at night. It doesn't chase its prey, it spies on it before springing from its hiding place to kill it cleanly with a bite to the neck.
Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a double-shell case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a black protective box.
