| Reverse description | A vividly coloured Canadian lynx (Lynx canadensis) is depicted in a crouching, alert posture atop a lichen- and moss-covered rocky outcrop, its gaze directed toward the viewer with piercing yellow eyes. The animal's dense, grey-brown fur and characteristic tufted ears are rendered in fine naturalistic detail using applied colour. A coniferous forest scene forms the atmospheric background, with the denomination '20 DOLLARS' arcing along the upper field and the date '2016' positioned to the upper right. The artist's initials 'DM' appear in the lower right field near the rim. |

| Additional information |
Part of the RCM's ongoing fine silver wildlife series, this issue belongs to a program that has leaned heavily on the collector market since the early 2010s as bullion premiums on pure silver gave the Mint room to price well above spot. The Canadian Lynx subject appeared across multiple RCM releases in this period, making catalog disambiguation by KM number necessary.
