North America in general, and the Canadian wilderness, in particular, can be an incredibly inhospitable environment. For the very first outsiders arriving from Europe, the North American continent must have seemed like a tall order to tackle in trying to tame the unforgiving terrain and wild animals of this land.
The Canadian Horse proved to be the only breed of horse capable of surviving the elements and carrying mankind on his quest to tame the land from one coast to the next. The Canadian Horse is descended from a breeding of the royal Norman horses of King Louis XIV and the Breton/Andalusian horse. Canadian Horses are the purest North American breed of horse and earned a reputation as “little iron horses.”
On the obverse of these 2019 3/4 oz Canadian Silver Wild Horse Reverse Proof Coins, you’ll find the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the fourth-generation effigy of the Queen on Canadian currency and the first on a Canadian coin since the 1930s to depict the monarch without a crown.
The reverse of 2019 Canadian Silver Wild Horse Coins features a stirring depiction of a Canadian Horse. This wild, majestic beast has a long, flowing mane and the Royal Canadian Mint’s micro-engraved maple leaf privy features in the upper-left design field. Designer Denis Mayer Jr’s “DM” initials are featured in the design field as well.
These 2019 3/4 oz Canadian Silver Wild Horse Coins are available to purchase individually, housed within mint tubes, or inside of a Monster Box that contains a total of 600 coins in all. The reverse proof finish means each coin has stunning, mirrored finishes to the design elements and a strong, frosted background field.

“Beautiful coin and of course the horse itself is beautiful comes w/the short curved ears, set foreward, eyes intelligent set wide across forehead, chisled head, and large flaring nostrils. Let’s not forget the endurance. All traits of the Arabian Horse Breed. It’s no wonder I love this coin. Beautiful crossbreeding in this horse.”
