This finely detailed coin offers a close-up glimpse of the remarkable physical attributes of the wood bison, the largest species of bison in North America. Each coin may become a unique gift and collectible that celebrates North America’s fauna, and a species that shaped the history of the Prairies region of Canada and the United States. A striking addition to any wildlife themed collection, or fine silver collection. This proof coin has been enhanced with three different finishes that accentuate the facial features of the bison. Each coin comes with a custom graphic beauty box featuring a colorized version of the coin design. This coin was designed by Canadian Doug Comeau. It portrays the front-facing portrait of a wood bison. The bison’s distinctive shoulder hump stands in contrast to the darker mane and the curved horns. The bison is standing still, its calm gaze fixed upon an intrusion in its otherwise natural environment. The coin also features edge lettering with the words “1 OZ FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR” engraved in a repeating pattern around the coin’s edge. Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell protected by a custom beauty box. Are also available for an additional charge. 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.
