| Reverse description | A Great Horned Owl is depicted perched atop a snow-covered rocky outcrop, facing the viewer with alert, forward-gazing eyes. The fully colorized scene portrays a serene winter night, with snow-laden conifer trees framing the composition and a luminous full moon rising against a deep blue-purple sky amid falling snowflakes. In the lower left background, the warm glow of a rustic log cabin nestled in the snowy landscape adds depth and atmosphere to the scene. The naturalistic, painterly color application creates a rich and evocative nocturnal wilderness setting characteristic of the Royal Canadian Mint's fine silver series. |
