2021 Canada Proof Gold $250 Bold Bison EHR

This striking 2021 Canadian release showcases an extraordinary level of depth, featuring a three-quarter portrait of a wild bison. Designed by artist Derek C. Wicks, the reverse image is struck in an extreme high relief that rises more than six millimeters off the coin's surface. This dramatic dimension brings the powerful features of the animal to life, contrasting sharp textures with the smooth, polished fields of the proof finish. Struck by the Royal Canadian Mint from two ounces of 99.99 percent pure gold, this coin carries a face value of 250 Dollars. The obverse displays the classic effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Susanna Blunt. With a remarkably small mintage of just 250 pieces, this coin represents a fusion of modern minting technology and wildlife art, offering an impressive tactile experience for those who appreciate numismatic design.
