You won’t find a lion in the wilds of Canada, but the noble king of beasts holds a lofty place in Canadian heraldry. Displayed on both the crest and shield of the Coat of Arms of Canada, and as one of its supporters, the heraldic lion symbolizes both Canada’s sovereignty and our historic ties to the United Kingdom, while also embodying the virtues of bravery, courage and strength.

The Design:
This 99.99% pure silver coin presents a different take on the lion found in many official Canadian emblems. Reimagined in a heraldically stylized manner, the stately creature is depicted in a forward-facing pose and sculpted in Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR), while the wreath of floral emblems is engraved in Ultra High Relief (UHR), resulting in differing, eye- catching relief heights.
