With its distinctively curved horns, the bighorn sheep is one of the most widely-recognised species to inhabit the alpine meadows and elevated terrain of Canada's Rocky Mountains. Its agility is remarkable and well-suited to its surroundings, where it bounds up the rocky slopes to reach seemingly inaccessible ledges with ease. Now, the Royal Canadian Mint proudly celebrates this wild sheep species with a stunning fine silver coin.

Design:
The coin's reverse skillfully recreates the awe-inspiring landscape of Canada's Rocky Mountains, which fills the background in this timeless portrait of a bighorn sheep. Leaning on its front legs, the bighorn is poised on a rocky slope with its head turned slightly to the left, as though something on the horizon has captured the animal's attention. The use of colour combined with expert engraving showcase the bighorn's majestic features, which seem perfectly suited to the mighty peaks that tower above the pristine wilderness in the background.

Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a custom beauty box.
