2018 Canada $30 Zentangle Art - The Great Horned Owl Fine Silver Coin (No Tax)
In its woodland habitat, the great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) can be difficult to spot since its plumage allows it to blend in with the branches and foliage. Not so on the Zentangle inspired reverse, where the owl’s feathered features and all-knowing gaze provide the framework for a highly artistic wildlife portrait that is anything but traditional.

Special Features:
• BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: Our first Zentangle Art wolf coin left collectors eager for more! Another iconic Canadian species, the great horned owl, is transformed by an elaborate design style based on the structured patterns of the Zentangle method.
• A CELEBRATION OF ART, NATURE AND FOLKLORE: Layers of repetitive abstract patterns come together beautifully to re-create the "wise" owl’s feathered features - and fittingly, in a style reminiscent of classic storybook illustrations.
• IMMACULATE DETAILS ON A LARGE SCALE: With its large diameter, this coin is perfectly sized to showcase such a complex design, which truly stands out against the brilliant proof finish. Repeat viewings will bring new appreciation for the incomparable artistry and craftsmanship!
• EXPERT CRAFTSMANSHIP: Every intricately engraved pattern has a beauty of its own. Multiple finishes help set them apart, along with thicker lines and shaded elements that add a sense of layered depth and contrast to the overall design.
• A UNIFYING ELEMENT ON BOTH SIDES: Even the obverse features an intricate pattern, which is replicated from the reverse.
Packaging:
Maroon clamshell with black beauty box.
