Comment
The Mint's Ottawa facility will produce up to one million "Wood bison" silver bullion coins. Through this special series, a total of six different species of Canada's legendary wildlife, including the grizzly; wolf; cougar; moose; and antelope, have been celebrated on finely crafted bullion coins struck of the same pure silver as the Mint's world-famous Silver Maple Leaf bullion coins.Interesting fact
The 2013 $5 Silver Wood Bison coin features a unique reverse design that showcases a wood bison, a species that is native to Canada, in a natural habitat setting. The coin's design is particularly interesting because it incorporates a unique technique called "reverse proof," which creates a mirror-like finish on the coin's background, while the bison and other design elements are frosted. This creates a striking visual effect that gives the coin a sense of depth and dimension. Additionally, the coin's high silver purity of .9999 and its 1 oz weight make it a valuable and collectible piece for coin enthusiasts.
