| Additional information |
Canada has no native bison population to speak of — the species was functionally extinct on Canadian plains by the 1880s, the result of systematic slaughter that destroyed an estimated 30 to 60 million animals across North America in under two decades. Reintroduction programs, particularly in Banff and Wood Buffalo National Park, have rebuilt managed herds from the early 20th century onward.
The Royal Canadian Mint's bullion series in .9999 fine silver occupies a competitive market niche against the American Silver Eagle and Britannia programs, relying on rotating wildlife themes to drive collector demand beyond spot value.
