Each of the 2017 2 oz Proof Canadian Silver Animals in the Moonlight Lynx Coins in this listing includes the Royal Canadian Mint’s innovative glow-in-the-dark technology. The bright moonlight, pop of the stars, and warm glow of the bonfire bring the imagery on this coin’s reverse to life.
On the reverse of the Lynx Silver Coins is the image of a snow-kissed forest in the middle of a Canadian winter. As the large moon rises into the sky in the background, a massive bonfire provides a warm glow in the midst of a campground. On the prowl in the woods outside the camp is an elusive lynx.
The obverse of all the coins in this collection is the image of Queen Elizabeth II. The right-profile portrait of Her Majesty appears on all Canadian coinage, and this particular effigy was created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt.
Each one of the 2017 2 oz Proof Canadian Silver Animals in the Moonlight Lynx Coins in this listing arrives inside of a maroon clamshell for protection during shipping and display in your collection. The clamshell ships inside of a graphic beauty box that includes the full-color artwork on the coin’s reverse from Curtis Atwater. A Certificate of Authenticity is also included with purchase.
The Royal Canadian Mint is the official sovereign mint of Canada. Founded in 1908, it originally operated just one facility in the federal capital of Ottawa, and now has a second location in the city of Winnipeg.
