2018 Canada $20 Nocturnal by Nature - Cunning Cougar Fine Silver (No Tax)

2018 Canada $20 Nocturnal by Nature - Cunning Cougar Fine Silver (No Tax)

Canada’s largest wild cat is a model of patience, stealth and agility in the wild, where it adroitly climbs, skulks and pounces on its prey. Black-as-night rhodium plating sets the tone for a nighttime prowl on this fourth Nocturnal by Nature coin, where the cunning cougar would likely go undetected, were it not for the polished shine of the silvery moon.
