This coin celebrates the snowy owl, one of Canada's most iconic birds.
The snowy owl embodies Canada's north, is a very important part of the ecosystem and is protected from hunting across Canada. The reverse features an open field after the first snowfall, rendered in full colour. The owl is looking at us while perched on a dead log, it's head turned back past 90 degrees. This close-up view allows a magnificent view of this majestic creature’s remarkable features, from its rounded head and black bill to the down-covered legs and toes.
This coin makes a wonderful gift for nature lovers, and will be prized by collectors of wildlife-themed coins.
ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT

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.
