Native to the boreal forests that stretch from Yukon to Newfoundland-and-Labrador, the Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) is one of the most common wild cats in Canada. Yet, encounters with this stealthy, agile predator remain rare; this fine silver coin captures the beauty of Canada's elusive feline in a forceful show of strength. This ultra-high relief coin uses the imagery of the Canada lynx, and makes full use of the ultra-high relief allowing the lynx's head to have a more sculptural aspect to it. A rare opportunity to view the elusive lynx's distinctive facial features, which are superbly rendered due to the finely detailed engraving created by the skills of the Royal Canadian Mint's artisans. The use of multiple finishes and ultra-high relief provide an added depth and further showcase the combined craftsmanship and artistry that have produced this stunning coin design.Crafted in fine silver (99.99% pure), this coin has a maximum worldwide mintage of only 6,000 coins. This coin is an outstanding addition to any Canadiana or wildlife-themed collection. A stunning gift for collectors and animal lovers alike. For our Canadian customers, this coin is GST/HST exempt. Designed by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc, the coin offers a close-up portrait of the elusive hunter, the Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis).
The lynx's long, shaggy winter coat is rendered in exceptional detail, from the black tips of its beard-like fur to the fine whiskers that stretch out on either side of the face. Despite its elusive nature, this predator's fierce gaze holds steady as it vocalises its displeasure, holding its jaw open in mid-roar to reveal sharp teeth. The ears, with whisker-like tufts rising up from the tips, stand pointed as though they first detected the intrusion that drew the lynx's attention in the direction of the viewer. Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clam-shell protected by a black outer box.Check out my other items. Be sure to add me to your favorites list. 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. 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. This item is in the category "Coins & Paper Money\Coins: Canada\Commemorative".
