2014 Canada 25-cent Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Gold (No Tax)

As is typical, the capsule might be scratched, and/or the outer cardboard sleeve might have some light wear.  

The powerful Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep is one of Canada's most distinctive and identifiable wild sheep species.

This 99.99% pure gold coin is the third in the Royal Canadian Mint's best-selling series of 11-millimetre gold coins.

The reverse design by Emily Damstra, rendered in exceptional detail despite the coin's miniscule size, features a profile view of the statuesque curly-horned head of an adult Rocky Mountain Bighorn ram. Exquisite detailing highlights the annulus ridges of the regal ruminant's blunt-ended left horn, which curls to within centimetres of its far-seeing eyes. The animal's dark, short hair and light-coloured muzzle are brought to life through fine detail and engraving.
