2022 Snowy Owl on Driftwood by Robert Bateman 2 oz Pure Silver

Snowy Owl on Driftwood: Robert Bateman's 2022 Pure Silver Masterpiece

The fourth release in the Robert Bateman series presents an engraved interpretation of the artist's iconic painting, capturing the intensity and quiet strength of Canada's most celebrated owl. The snowy owl sits regally perched on weathered driftwood, its piercing gaze fixed on the distance with steely determination — translated into 99.99% pure silver with a proof finish that enhances every detail of plumage and textured wood.

A Collector's Series in Pure Silver

This 50 mm coin follows 2019's Into the Light – Lion, 2020's Summertime Polar Bear, and 2021's Wolf Sketch. Bateman's photo-realistic style translates beautifully to precious metal, with the artist's engraved signature appearing on the reverse. Mintage is limited to 4,500 coins, each accompanied by a serialized certificate of authenticity.
