Majestic, powerful and hauntingly silent in flight, the Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) embodies the enigmatic nature of Canada’s Arctic region. It is one of the largest owl species and contrary to common belief, can see equally well day or night—an ability that is particularly important for this northern resident that must hunt under the midnight sun of the Arctic summer.
While the snowy owl’s beautiful plumage may be the first thing that catches your eye when looking at the coin, this bird of prey’s eyes are among its most distinctive features. Surprisingly, those cat-like, bright yellow eyes are similar in weight and size to the human eye; but unlike other birds, the snowy owl’s eyes face forward to allow for a heightened depth perception. Since their eyes cannot move freely within their sockets, owls have a flexible neck that enables them to turn their head 270 degrees in either direction—a remarkable ability that is alluded to in the coin design.
A must-have addition for any nature or animal lover in your family! Order today!
Special features:
The coin’s reverse brings life to one of Canada’s most iconic birds, which is closely identified with the Arctic region.
Exquisitely detailed engraving faithfully depicts a snowy owl, as seen in a natural setting in one of the many open fields that are part of the Canadian landscape.
Vibrant colour enhances the engraving and recreates the snowy owl’s distinctively dense white and brown-barred plumage.
Your coin is GST/HST exempt.
Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Douglas Laird, your coin features a beautiful snowy owl after the first snow. Intricately engraved and beautifully enhanced with vibrant colour, this unique close-up 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. Perched on a dried piece of wood in a rolling field, the owl’s brown-barred white plumage allows for an element of camouflage amidst its natural surroundings—particularly as the softly falling snow blankets the landscape. Using its acute hearing, the snowy owl has detected our intrusion and has swiveled its head to spy the viewer with the big, yellow eyes that help it seek its prey throughout the seasons.
Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a graphic beauty box.
