2017 Canada $5 1oz Growling Cougar Silver Maple Leaf Privy Mark Reverse Proof. May be lightly toned. (TAX Exempt)

The reverse of this coin features a design by Canadian Artist Pierre Leduc of the profile of a growling cougar. The cougar looks fierce and is displaying its teeth as both a warning and a threat. The detail on the head and neck are remarkable, with the fur of the cougar being beautifully captured. Each coin in this series features one of the animals from the original bullion Wildlife series, released in the same order as the originals. These coins are minted in a beautiful reverse proof style, with the field being frosted while the maple leaf, privy mark and lettering are shiny.
