Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Charles III (Bison) silver coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a bison in a natural habitat, which is a departure from the traditional depiction of the bison on Canadian coins. The coin's designer, Jamie Desrochers, aimed to create a more realistic representation of the bison, highlighting its strength and majesty in the wild. This design choice adds a fresh perspective to the classic bison motif and sets the coin apart from other bison-themed coins.
