Description
This low mintage 2020 $30 fine silver coin features a bold selectively coloured Bighorn Sheep set against an intricately engraved classic background. The strapping bighorn sheep is right at home in one of Canada’s most scenic, most photographed and perhaps most daunting landscapes. Other species might stick to lower elevations but this natural climber easily travels along the slopes of the Canadian Rockies, where it grazes in the valleys or ascends to heights that give it a commanding view. Adding to its collectability, the mintage is limited to just 2,500 coins. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
Designed by artist Maurade Baynton, the reverse features a selectively coloured, close-up view of the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. The finely engraved backdrop showcases the bighorn sheep’s natural habitat: the soaring peaks and breathtaking valleys of the Canadian Rockies. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
