COUGAR Sculpture of Majestic Animals 3D Silver Coin 100$ Canada 2017

The reverse design by Canadian big game sculptor Karl Lansing offers a sculptural celebration of an elusive hunter in the wild. Uniquely shaped to resemble a cougar (Puma concolor), this silver, gold-plated embellishment rises up from the coin's surface for a stunning, multi-dimensional collecting experience. The cougar's muscular appearance is on full display as it slinks close to the ground, its long tail gently curved behind it. While the paused movement belies the cougar's ability to pounce with lightning-fast speed, it does allow for a rare view of this secretive species' features, including finer details such as the texture of its fur. In the top of the coin's reverse, the inscriptions: "CANADA" - the issue country and "2017" - the issue year. On the bottom, the inscriptions: "100 DOLLARS" - the face value. The coin's obverse depicts the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions: "ELIZABETH II" and "D.G. REGINA" - the name of the Queen.
