For more than a century, these resilient Canadian cowboys and cowgirls have worked with the ebb and flow of the land, which is at turns either cruel or kind, evolving a way of life unique to this land and those whose lives and livelihoods depend on it. The legendary image of the western cowboy is most often invoked in reference to the history of the United States, but Canada has a rich cowboy heritage. Canadian ranching is said to have emerged in British Columbia's interior valleys about a decade before it began in southern Alberta.In each of these regions, however, the emergence of ranching was driven by distinct factors.

Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered.
