Canadian Predator Cougar Coin Design
The 2016-dated Cougar is the first in a new four-coin, 1 oz., 99.99% pure silver bullion “Predator” series celebrating some of Canada’s most impressive animals of prey. The obverse displays the iconic effigy of HRM Queen Elizabeth II, the reverse features the fearsome sight of a leaping cougar. Contrasted against a background of precise radial lines, this vivid illustration of a cougar is the work of acclaimed Canadian coin designer and nature illustrator Emily Damstra. Coins from this new silver bullion series will be produced to a maximum mintage of one million.
