2015 - $20 - 1 Oz Fine Silver - Majestic Animal - Big-Horned Sheep

The Big-Horned Sheep's coin skillfully recreates the awe-inspiring landscape of Canada's Rocky Mountains, which fills the background in this timeless portrait of a bighorn sheep. Leaning on its front legs, the bighorn is poised on a rocky slope with its head turned slightly to the left, as though something on the horizon has captured the animal's attention. The use of colour combined with expert engraving showcase the bighorn's majestic features, which seem perfectly suited to the mighty peaks that tower above the pristine wilderness in the background.
