Native to the boreal forests that stretch from Yukon to Newfoundland, the Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) is one of the most common wild cats in Canada. This pure gold coin features this iconic creature in ultra high relief rising from the surface of the coin. The lynx is easily identifiable by its long, shaggy coat, Snowshoe-like paws, and black-tipped fur rising up from the tips of its ears. Due to its elusive nature, encounters with this stealthy, agile predator remain rare.
