The Canadian wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) is the largest terrestrial mammal in North America, with males weighing up to 2,000 pounds. Distinguished by their massive shoulder humps, dark brown fur, and imposing presence, these magnificent creatures were once on the brink of extinction in the early 20th century. Right now, 2017 1/4 oz Canadian Gold Buffalo Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each of the 2017 1/4 oz Canadian Gold Buffalo Coins offered here comes in a protective plastic flip. These beautiful coins feature radial lines on both sides of the field, with the entire background field on the obverse filled by radial lines and the edge of the design field on the reverse showcasing radial lines.
Wood bison differ from their plains cousins by having higher shoulder humps, shorter and darker fur, and a more pronounced beard. They’ve adapted remarkably well to Canada’s boreal forest environment, navigating through woodland, muskeg, and meadows with surprising agility despite their bulk.
The obverse of the 2017 Canadian Gold Buffalo comes with a depiction of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen is shown here in right-profile relief without a crown on her head, one of the only designs during her reign to lack a crown. This portrait was created for the Royal Canadian Mint in 2003 by Susanna Blunt.
On the reverse of 2017 1/4 oz Gold Buffalo Coins, you’ll find a wood bison moving along the plains of Canada. These herbivores primarily feed on grasses and sedges, playing a crucial ecological role by maintaining meadow habitats through their grazing patterns and creating spaces for other species to thrive. Today, wood bison primarily reside in protected areas across northern Canada, particularly in Wood Buffalo National Park, which straddles Alberta and the Northwest Territories.
