About
A stunning colour portrait of a bighorn sheep on a 2 oz. pure silver coin!
The strapping bighorn sheep is right at home in one of Canada’s most scenic, most photographed and perhaps most daunting landscapes. Other species might stick to lower elevations but this natural climber easily travels along the slopes of the Canadian Rockies, where it grazes in the valleys or ascends to heightsthat give it a commanding view.
A must-have addition for any nature or animal lover in your family!
