2018 Canada $20 Courageous Cougar One-Ounce Silver Colorized Proof NGC PF70UC FR

Snag Yourself a Cougar

It’s currently believed that Canada’s largest cat, the cougar, is making a big comeback thanks to the growing population of white-tailed deer in Eastern Canada. What better way to celebrate than with a new coin in Canada’s Majestic Wildlife series, featuring a fully colorized cougar standing before a beautiful mountain range. This $20 legal-tender coin makes a beautiful gift for any animal lover or fan of the Canadian wilderness.

The first coin in the series, the large 38 mm coin is struck in pure 99.99% silver and shows a Courageous Cougar silently scanning its territory atop an outcropping in Canada’s wilderness mountains. The coin seems to take on a life of its own with the selective addition of color. In combination with the coin’s mirror proof fields, the colorization on the cougar, rocks and trees gives this piece a stunning 3D effect. It’s a work of art in pure silver! Your coin has also been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) to be in perfect Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition. In addition, NGC has also certified that these coins are First Releases (FR) and has encapsulated each coin is a special coin holder with an exclusive Canada label.

Canada’s cougar is one of nature’s most athletic predators. The largest big cat of North America, cougars can run at speeds of up to nearly 35 miles per hour and can jump straight up 18 feet off the ground! They also have a field of vision that spans 130 degrees and can bring down an animal four times its size. When stalking and pursuing prey, these abilities come in handy. They also have little contact with humans, preferring instead to stealthily roam in rocky mountain areas or dark forests where they won’t be seen. And with a range stretching from northern British Columbia all the way into Mexico, the cougar has been called by as many as 40 different names with puma, mountain lion and panther being the most common.

You don’t have to climb the highest mountain to catch a glimpse of this cougar – just add it to your cart today and you’ll soon have one of nature’s most skilled hunters to call your very own!
