2021 Canada $25 Bold Bison Extraordinarily High Relief Fine Silver (No Tax)

The bison is the largest and heaviest land animal in Canada. A male or bull stands tall at 2 metres high and can weigh more than a tonne!

Its hump isn't composed of fat – it's all muscle, supported by vertebrae. That hump comes in handy in the winter, when the bison uses its head (and hump) to push snow out of its way.

Extraordinarily high relief, extraordinarily detailed! The follow-up to our first Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR) coin minted in a proof finish, this 99.99% pure silver collectible is a sculpted work of art that leaves a lasting impression. Its reverse features a wildlife portrait that rises up from the coin's mirror-like surface to reach a height of nearly 6 mm – over four times higher than an Ultra High Relief (UHR) coin of the same diameter!

Rendered here in three-dimensional form, the bison's imposing features instantly command attention – especially against a high-shine finish that illuminates the depth of detail for maximum visual impact.

Simply STUNNING, this is the perfect fusion of modern technology and classic Canadiana.

The Bold Bison's reverse Canadian artist Derek C. Wicks has created a striking three-quarter portrait of a bison that has a solemn expression as it gazes towards the right. Its unique features – the upturned horns, the muscled hump behind the shoulder – and the textural variations of its fur are all accentuated by the extraordinary high relief, which allows for a greater depth of engraved details. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Special Features:
• The Royal Canadian Mint's newest EHR (Extraordinarily High Relief) coin with a Proof Finish! The follow-up to 2020's Proud Bald Eagle coin, this wildlife portrait features engraving that elevates the art to breathtaking effect.
• The 2021 Bold Bison has nearly 6mm of Height! The engraved relief soars to a height of nearly 6 mm! It's an incredible feat of engineering, especially when you consider that Ultra High Relief coins of the same diameter typically reach only 1.4 mm of height.
• The incomparable shine of a mirror-like finish illuminates all the intricately sculpted details that add realism to the art.
• Mintage is limited to just 5,000 coins worldwide. Given that the previous EHR coin sold out quickly, this 99.99% pure silver collectible will likely be in high demand, too. Order yours today!
• One of the Royal Canadian Mint's most intricately detailed portraits of the bison yet! From start to finish, this EHR coin is designed to leave a lasting impression and it's a fitting tribute to the titan of the Canadian prairies.

Packaging:
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
