Product Details

This exquisite quarter-ounce gold coin, dated 2017, showcases the majestic bighorn sheep, a symbol of strength and resilience deeply rooted in Canadian wildlife. Cast from .9999 fine gold, this piece is more than just a collectible; it's a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Royal Canadian Mint. The bighorn sheep's prominence on the reverse reflects its significance in both cultural heritage and its natural habitat among the rugged Canadian Rockies. As a thoughtful depiction of the wild's raw beauty, this coin appeals not only to numismatists but also to investors seeking a tangible asset with real intrinsic value.

  • Manufactured by the Royal Canadian Mint
  • .9999 fine gold purity
  • Limited mintage ensures uniqueness and potential value appreciation
  • Intricate design showcasing a bighorn sheep with exceptional detail

The design elements incorporated into this gold piece are steeped in symbolism and history. The obverse presents the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Susanna Blunt, capturing her legacy and the timeless continuity of the Commonwealth's monarchy. The reverse, engineered with artistic precision, vividly brings to life the bighorn sheep, known for its curved horns and powerful stance. Every facet of the coin communicates a story, intertwined with the natural history and identity of Canada. Its creation involves meticulous minting techniques that highlight the high relief of its motifs, ensuring that each gold coin is not only a showcase of craftsmanship but also a lasting legacy.

With .9999 fine gold, the 2017 bighorn sheep inscription is a reflection of the coin's purity and the Mint's unwavering commitment to quality. The historical context of this specie, once revered by Indigenous cultures and emblematic for its tenacity, further enriches this coin's narrative. As gold continues to maintain its prestige and value, often seen as a hedge against inflation, this particular coin becomes an ideal acquisition for those building a diversified investment portfolio or searching for a heritage piece to pass down through generations.

Given the innate beauty of gold and its status as a finite resource, this coin represents a compelling opportunity to invest in precious metals. Encased securely yet strikingly, it draws the eye and serves as a conversation starter wherever it is displayed. As Canada's iconic wildlife captures the hearts of collectors worldwide, the bighorn sheep coin exemplifies excellence in numismatic artistry.

For those contemplating a lasting addition to their collection or seeking a portfolio diversification, consider securing this striking piece today.

My overall experience has been excellent. Great communication from the start. They let you know the status of your order in a timely manner. Quick shipment after payment clears. Excellent packaging. The fact that Bullion Standard sends a link to confirm whether I've received my product is also remarkable. You can tell they care about the customer, and are trustworthy and reliable, 10/10, would shop again (already have).
