About
Own this pure gold EHR coin that takes art to the next level.
Extraordinarily high relief, extraordinarily detailed. The follow‑up to our first Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR) coin minted in a proof finish, this showpiece is an exquisitely sculpted work of art. Its reverse features a mesmerizing portrait that rises up from the coin’s mirror-like surface to reach a height of over 6 mm – over four times higher than an Ultra High Relief (UHR) coin of the same diameter. Rendered here in three‑dimensional form, the bison’s imposing features instantly command attention – especially in 99.99% pure gold and against a high‑shine finish that provides maximum visual impact.
A must-have for gold collectors and nature enthusiasts, this EHR pure gold coin is the perfect fusion of modern technology and classic Canadiana.

Features
Our newest EHR coin with a proof finish!
The follow-up to 2020’s Proud Bald Eagle coin, this 99.99% pure gold wildlife portrait features Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR) engraving that elevates the art to breathtaking effect.
Over 6 mm of height!
On your coin’s reverse, the engraved relief soars to a height of over 6 mm. It’s an incredible feat of engineering, especially when you consider that ultra high relief coins of the same diameter usually offer only 1.4 mm of height.
High relief, high shine!
The incomparable shine of a mirror‑like finish illuminates all the intricately sculpted details that add realism to the art.

Obverse
Susanna Blunt
On your coin’s reverse, Canadian artist Derek C. Wicks has created a striking three-quarter portrait of a bison that has a solemn expression as it gazes towards the right. Its unique features – the upturned horns, the muscled hump behind the shoulder – and the textural variations of its fur are all accentuated by the extraordinary high relief, which allows for a greater depth of engraved details. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
