2022 The Mighty Bison 2 oz Pure Silver

A Symbol of Power: The 2 oz Silver Plains Bison

Capture the imposing strength of North America's largest land animal with this 99.99% pure silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint. Artist Claudio D'Angelo presents a classically engraved portrait of two bull bison in a circular composition, set against the vast and rugged Canadian prairie landscape.

Masterful Engraving & Depth

The large 50 mm diameter provides a substantial canvas for D’Angelo’s detailed artistry. Multiple frosting techniques are used to emphasize the bison’s muscular shoulder humps and thick winter coats, creating a striking contrast against the frosted grassland environment. This design conveys the raw power and commanding presence of a species that serves as Canada's national mammal.

Conservation & Cultural Heritage

Once dominating the Great Plains by the tens of millions, the plains bison is a symbol of both ecological resilience and conservation success. Struck in a brilliant proof finish, the obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, enhanced with a nature-themed field pattern. Arriving in a premium clamshell and black beauty box, this $30 face value coin is a high-authority addition to any wildlife-themed collection.
