Predator Coin Series

Overview of the Silver Predator Coin Series

The Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) has once again captivated collectors with its Silver Predator Coin Series, which features some of Canada's most iconic predators. From the elusive Cougar to the majestic Lynx and fierce Wolf, these coins are a testament to the RCM's commitment to unique designs and meticulous attention to detail. The coins are struck from .9999 fine silver boasting breathtaking imagery, making them a must-have for collectors.

Spotlight on the Silver Predator Coins

The series began in 2016 with the release of the Cougar coin, depicting the majestic mountain lion, also known as a puma. This powerful predator, native to the Rocky Mountains and Canada’s west coast, is known for its beauty, grace, and superb hunting skills. The Cougar is the fourth largest cat in the world, and its portrayal on this coin captures its elusive nature and commanding presence.

Following the Cougar, the Lynx coin was released in 2017, showcasing this secretive and solitary predator. Designed by Emily Damstra (designer of the Type 2 eagle landing image on the American Silver Eagle), the Lynx coin highlights the cat's long ears, thick fur, and piercing eyes, reflecting the animal's namesake, which means "brightness" and "light." Native to Canada’s boreal forests and Alaska, the Lynx is known for its adaptability and skill in hunting, making it a favorite among Canadian wildlife enthusiasts.

In 2018, the series continued with the release of the Wolf coin, designed by Nathalie Legace. This coin captures the strength and intelligence of the Gray Wolf, also known as the timber or western wolf. Weighing between 79 and 99 pounds in adulthood, these social and highly intelligent predators are known for their pack behavior and haunting howls. With only 300,000 coins minted, the Wolf coin is a sought-after piece in the series, cherished for its low mintage and stunning design.

The fourth coin in the series, released in 2019, features the formidable Grizzly Bear. This majestic creature is one of North America’s most powerful predators, known for its immense strength and fearsome presence. The Grizzly Bear coin, with its intricate design, showcases the bear in its natural habitat, capturing the essence of this iconic animal. Like the other coins in the series, it is struck from .9999 fine silver, making it a highly desirable collectible for both wildlife enthusiasts and numismatists.

The Obverse and Security Features

The obverse of each Silver Predator Coin features a portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Susanna Blunt in 2003. These coins are issued in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, with added security features such as radial lines and a micro-laser engraved Maple Leaf Security Mark.
