INNOVATIVE WORLD FIRST COINING TECHNOLOGY - The Lynx Head features an ingenious approach to coin design. This third issue in the 3-coin series is the third proof-quality coins struck with extraordinarily high relief (EHR)a new term in the world of minting. EHR is defined by an impressive relief that reaches to around 6 millimetres on a coin of only 36 millimetres in diameter and 1 oz. Ultra-high relief coins barely reach 2 millimetres of height and standard relief coins remain almost flat in comparison. 435 POLYGONS - The Lynx Head's multiple facets, composed of 435 polygons, are crafted in proof finish to reflect light from various angles. The result is a coin that sparkles like a diamond. The highest quality proof finish combined with the EHR technique gives it an unequaled brilliance and sharpness, making it a world first coin of its kind. A lightly frosted background accentuates the sparkle of the central main design, giving its already dazzling subject even more emphasis. On the obverse, multiple light-relief facets provide similar luminous, reflective effect. A DESIGN LIKE NO OTHER - Thanks to the ingenious EHR technology, the lynx head coin design is no longer just an embossing, it is a sculpture built upon your coin. A GORGEOUS BEAST - The Canada Lynx is a remarkable animal that cat lovers can't help but adore. It looks like your beloved feline pet, but bigger and with prominent ear tufts.
