Pure Silver Coin – Wildlife Reflections: Cougar
About
Coin #2 offers you an extraordinary encounter with Canada’s largest wild cat.
The Wildlife Reflections series celebrates Canada’s natural beauty through colourful, texturized depictions of Canadian fauna, and Coin #2 presents a contemplative portrait of Puma concolor. Canada’s largest wild cat, the strong and stealthy cougar is steady on its feet. While this secretive forest-dweller may roam at any time, it tends to be most active from dusk until dawn—a fact that is reflected in the stunning sunset re-created on your coin’s reverse, which elicits reverence for this enigmatic big cat and its habitat.
Add a second contemplative portrait to your collection.

Reverse
Claude Thivierge
Designed by wildlife artist Claude Thivierge, your coin’s reverse features a dramatic sunset that casts an orange glow over a serene forest lake setting, where the trees and rocks are finely engraved. Selective colour extends to the cougar standing on a fallen tree and to its reflection in the water below, while a multi-texture effect mimics the look of fur and creates a shimmering effect on the water surface. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
