2019'The Bighorn Sheep- Zentangle(R) Art' Proof $30 Fine Silver Coin(18660)OOAK
A great alpine species is re-imagined on your wildly artistic coin! The dauntless king of the Canadian Rockies lends its likeness to our latest Zentangle®-inspired design. Within the outline of the animal's woolly features and curved horns, an array of finely engraved abstract patterns comes together beautifully to form an exceptionally complex and wildly creative portrait of the bighorn sheep, or Ovis canadensis-sheep belonging to Canada. This extraordinary design style is a highly intricate celebration of illustrative art and nature, one borne of creative spontaneity and reminiscent of Zentangle® art, where each line and dot combines to form a breathtaking image that is far more than just the sum of its parts.

A gorgeous Zentangle® inspired Bighorn Sheep coin in 2 ounces 99.99percent pure silver! Special features: OUR THIRD ZENTANGLE® COIN!

Your coin is every bit as elaborate and artistic as the two previous ones (the wolf and the owl), which had collectors clamouring for more. Inspired by the popular Zentangle® method of drawing, the design style mixes abstract patterns to form a larger image that is brought to life by combining relief, engraving, and special finishes. The large diameter (50mm) of your coin is perfectly sized to showcase every intricate detail where the engraving shines in an immaculate proof finish.

A UNIFYING ELEMENT ON BOTH SIDES! Even the obverse features an intricate pattern, which is replicated from the reverse. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins. Limited to 4,000 coins worldwide. Your coin is crafted from two ounces of 99.99percent pure silver.

Your coin is GST/HST exempt. Design: The bighorn sheep lends its likeness to an artistic re-imagining on your coin, where an original concept by illustrator Jori van der Linde is brought to life by fine engraving and multiple finishes. Inspired by the Zentangle® method of drawing, a captivating combination of abstract patterns adds a sense of texture, depth and creative contrast to this creative portrait, as each motif fills the space within the outline of the sheep's distinctive curled horns and woolly features. The reverse includes the engraved face value "30 DOLLARS", the year "2019" and the word "CANADA". The obverse replicates one of the patterns from the reverse and features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Ovis canadensis means sheep belonging to Canada. The bighorn sheep's split hooves allow it to step on ledges measuring as little as 5 centimetres!

Each hoof consists of a hard outer edge that can snag a protrusion of rock, while the pliable inner pad provides added grip. Its horns are never shed! The ram's horns can grow to a curled length of 127 centimetres, while the ewe's shorter horns measure roughly 30 centimetres long. The ridges in the horns represent one year of growth for the sheep after three years of age.

However, in this highly stylized design they aren't meant to indicate the age of the sheep. Packaging: Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box. This item is in the category "Coins & Paper Money\Coins: Canada\Commemorative".
