2018 - $30 - 2 oz. Pure Silver Coin - Zentangle® Art: The Great Horned Owl

A Zentangle®-inspired owl looks to roost in your collection!

In its woodland habitat, the great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) can be difficult to spot since its plumage allows it to blend in with the branches and foliage. Not so on this coin's Zentangle®-inspired reverse! Viewed in three-quarter profile, the owl's feathered features and all-knowing gaze provide the framework for a spectacular wildlife portrait that is anything but traditional. The owl's most distinctive features — the ear-like tufts, its steady stare — are unmistakable in real-life and on your coin, where an array of abstract patterns adds a beautiful complexity to the owl's plumage. This extraordinary design style is a highly intricate celebration of illustrative art and nature, one borne of creative spontaneity and reminiscent of Zentangle® art, where each line and dot combines to form a breathtaking image that is far more than just the sum of its parts.
