Unlike other birds, an owl’s eyes are located on the front of its head, an adaptation that heightens its depth perception for targeting prey, which it can spot over tremendous distances. Owls cannot roll their eyes the way humans do: they are fixed in their sockets. This is yet another intriguing adaptation that produces the signature way owls turn their heads as much as 270 degrees in either direction before fixating on their prey. Special features: The addition of bright yellow and black enamel on your coin gives added depth to the owl’s eyes and contrasts the softly frosted feathers of its face. Your detailed coin celebrates the snowy owl, a strikingly beautiful bird of prey inhabiting much of Canada’s North. Your coin is 99.99% pure silver. Design: Your coin was designed by Canadian artist Arnold Nogy and features a close-up portrait of the snowy owl’s facial features, its bright enameled yellow eyes standing in stark contrast to its plumage. Packaging: Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maple wooden box with a black beauty box. Fine silver (99.99% pure).
