Canadian Predator Series: Lynx 1oz Silver Coin (with Capsule)

This the second in The Predator Series released from the Royal Canadian Mint featuring a Lynx in 1oz of .9999 Fine Silver Bullion Coin.

The reverse design features a powerful image of a lynx leaping toward its prey with the following inscriptions: "CANADA", "9999" and "FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR". Like the Maple Leaf these also include the micro-engraved maple leaf privy mark that shows a "17" when viewed under magnification along with the radial line background that creates a unique light diffracting pattern which provides enhanced security for this pure silver bullion coin for added peace of mind. The obverse then features Susanna Blunt's design of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II along with the face value of "5 DOLLARS" and the year-date inscription of "2017" and the words "ELIZABETH II" and "D G REGINA".

Made in the purest form of silver at four 9s fine silver (.9999) this release of the predator series showcases the Canadian lynx (Lynx canadensis) which can be found the boreal forests that stretch across much of Canada. This wildcat is a skilled hunter that easily adapts to the changing seasons which makes it one of Canada's most beloved iconic species. Earning a reputation as a keeper of secrets, the solitary Canadian lynx has an elusive behavior and nocturnal habits. Slightly larger than the bobcat, the Canadian lynx has a dense silvery-brown coat with a ruffed face and black hair tufts from the tips of the ears. Sightings of Canadian lynx are rare.
