Each coin features edge lettering with the words 1 OZ.FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR engraved around the coin's edge. This finely detailed coin offers a close-up glimpse of the remarkable physical attributes of the plains bison, the largest species of bison in North America.
A striking addition to any wildlife-themed or fine silver collection. Each proof coin has been enhanced with multiple finishes that accentuate the facial features of the bison. Comes with a custom graphic protective "beauty box" featuring a colorized version of the coin design. Each coin is 99.99% pure silver. This coin was designed by Canadian artist Trevor Tennant.
It features a female and male plains bison standing side-by-side in the grassy landscape on a summer day. The differences between the two genders are striking when comparing the two side-by-side, with the bull (on the right) towering slightly over the cow (on the left).
The bull appears all the more imposing, thanks to the thicker, taller mane on its head. Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell protected by a graphic beauty box. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just "artist's conception" drawings from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits. All of the coins offered in this listing are "unsearched". Many coin dealers "search" all coins when they are received from the Mint.They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc.
When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins.
