The beautiful bird of prey, known as the Snowy Owl, is known to primarily inhabit tundra biomes, residing in Canada and Eurasia. Snowy Owls are distinguished by their beautiful white feathers and the fact that they are non-nocturnal, adapting to the lack of trees by being occasional ground dwellers; hunting and building nests on the surface.

The majestic snowy owl is a welcome feature for this 1/4 oz 9999 pure gold coin from the Royal Canadian Mint.

Illustrated on the reverse, a snowy owl is seen soaring through the Canadian tundra, with its wings outstretched as it fixates on its prey. The image is enhanced with an encapsulation of radial lines, inscribed with the nation and year of issue, the metal type, and denomination.

The obverse contains the contemporary effigy of her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Susanna Blunt, over a field adorned with radial lines, with the denominational value and the Queen’s title included.

ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT

The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
