Reverse description
Designed by Tony Bianco, your coin steps into the Canadian wilderness on a moonlit night, where the viewer gets arare glimpse of a secretive nocturnal hunter. Rhodium plating stands in for the dark night and fills most of the field, except for the full moon engraved at the centre. The polished shine of the coin`s silver surface mimics the effect of moonlight spilling across the nocturnal setting, revealing the shadowy figure of a cougar (Puma concolor). The side profile view highlights the spectacular agility of this muscular wild cat, whose large paws and sharp claws allow it to move nimbly along the twisted tree limb. Also engraved on the reverse are the words `CANADA`, the face value `20 DOLLARS` and the year `2018`.
