30 Dollars - Elizabeth II Snowy Owl and Greater White-Fronted Geese

The greater white-fronted goose breeds across arctic and subarctic Canada, making it a reasonable subject for a Canadian wildlife issue, but the pairing with a snowy owl on a single coin is an editorial choice rather than an ecological one — the two species occupy overlapping tundra habitat but the owl is an active predator of geese and their eggs. The Royal Canadian Mint's ultra-high relief bullion-adjacent collector series from this period leaned heavily on wildlife subjects to sustain collector interest as the market for large-format silver pieces softened after its peak around 2015.
