2019 - $30 - 2 oz. Pure Silver Coin - Zentangle® Art: Bighorn Sheep

The dauntless king of the Canadian Rockies lends its likeness to our latest Zentangle®-inspired design. Within the outline of the animal's woolly features and curved horns, an array of finely engraved abstract patterns comes together beautifully to form an exceptionally complex and wildly creative portrait of the bighorn sheep, or Ovis canadensis—“sheep belonging to Canada.” 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.
