COUGAR Animals in the Moonlight Glow in the Dark 2 Oz Silver Coin 30$ Canada 2017

Canadian artist Jan Poynter has combined quintessential elements of the Pacific Coast to create this fictional scene of a cougar approaching a stream on a snow-covered shoreline. Moonlight defines the cougar's silhouette, and dances on the water and snow. The majestic cat is looking towards the right, as if it has spotted its quarry in the distance. Behind the cougar, subtle shades of blue and gold paint a silent, snow-covered landscape of islands rising up from the calm waters of an inlet. A mountain range spans the horizon, its peaks visible in the moonlight. The moon also illuminates the clouds, and stars fill the gaps between them. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt and the inscriptions: "Elizabeth II" – the name of the Queen, "Canada" – the issue country, "2017" – the issue date, "D.G. Regina" and "30 Dollars" – the face value.
