2017 Canada 3/4oz Silver Coin - BIG HORN SHEEP

Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep are the largest wild sheep in North America. As their name suggests, bighorn sheep have true horns that they retain throughout their life. Males, called rams, have large horns that curl around their faces by eight years of age. These horns can weigh up to 30 pounds. Females, called ewes, have smaller horns that curve slightly to a sharp point within the first four years of life.

Security enhancements include radial lines on both the obverse and reverse, a micro-engraved maple leaf with the numeral “17” in the middle and a reeded edge.

Reverse: Image of a big horn sheep.

Obverse: Susanna Blunt’s design of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the $2 face value.
