2011 Canada 25 Cent Legendary Nature
Wood Bison Engraved Uncirculated Coin from Original Wrap Roll
Coin carefully extracted from original wrapped roll and
placed into protective coin holder. Stock photos are an accurate represented of
the item you will receive
The Wood Bison is uniquely Canadian, as it is only in Canada
that it can be found in the wild. Though 200,000 Wood Bison once prospered in
the woodlands of the Canadian West, only mere hundreds survived by the early
1900s because of overhunting and human encroachment. Thanks to the work of
Parks Canada in Wood Buffalo and Elk Island National Parks, the nearly extinct
Wood Bison population has bounced back to number more than 10,000. The
introduction of Wood Bison at Chitek Lake and Lake Winnipegossis in the 1990s
is also helping expand this precious animal's range to Manitoba.
Design
The obverse design features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
in right profile at 77 years old, surrounded by the Latin inscription
"ELIZABETH II D. G. REGINA". This effigy was designed by Susanna
Blunt.
Designed by BBDO, the coin features a wood bison facing
left. The text underneath reads "CANADA", the face value "25
CENTS", and the year of issue, "2011".
