Coin features a heartwarming design of an adult Burrowing Owl standing next to its owlet while holding a tasty offering of a grasshopper in its beak. Selective color beautifully showcases the Burrowing Owl’s brown and white speckled plumage and highlights the key difference between an adult and its young; chicks have a solid, buff-colored chest whereas an adult’s chest is barred. The tall grass highlights the Burrowing Owl’s prairie habitat and one can perhaps detect the shadowy entrance to a burrow behind the adorable pair. Mintage is limited to just 7,500 coins. The coin is struck in. 9999 fine silver and weighs just over one ounce. The coin comes presented in a premium limited edition book format presentation case including matching Canada Post first day issue stamps.
