Marvel at this gold UHR portrait of a stalking cougar.
Its intended prey will rarely see or hear a cougar’s approach… until it’s too late. Guided by its senses and gifted with both speed and agility, Puma concolor doesn’t need to put on an amazing strength display during the hunt. Instead, Canada’s largest wild cat quietly stalks its quarry, crouching and creeping and concealing itself in foliage as it closes in, before swiftly pouncing and delivering a fatal prolonged bite. The cougar’s adept stalking abilities are powerfully conveyed on the second instalment in our Great Hunters series, each Ultra High Relief (UHR) portrait serving as a commanding example of the unconquerable and often elusive nature of Canada’s wilderness.
Lock eyes with the stealthiest of the Great Hunters.
Special features
- A more expansive UHR view than ever before. Each coin in our Great Hunters series is distinguished by multi-level relief heights that were made possible by our most innovative UHR minting relief technique yet.
- One of Canada’s Great Hunters. Solitary and elusive, the cougar relies on its senses to survive and prefers to remain unseen, but your coin’s reverse offers a rare glimpse of its stalk-and-ambush hunting technique.
- A gorgeous golden gleam. Your coin is 99.99% pure gold and features a deeply reflective, mirror-like finish that radiates luxury and light to extraordinary effect.
- Low mintage. Only 400 coins are available to collectors worldwide.
- An Emily Damstra original. Your coin’s reverse was designed by Emily Damstra, the award-winning artist who has created many coin designs for the Royal Canadian Mint and the United States Mint, including the American Silver Eagle Type 2 coin.
- Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
- No GST/HST.
Packaging
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
Stunning Ultra High Relief (UHR)
The Ultra High Relief height of 1.6 mm brings outstanding height and depth to this striking portrait of a cougar on the hunt in the Canadian wilderness.
Multiple frostings for dynamic light play
Multiple frostings alter the way light reflects off the different design elements, creating a more realistic rendering of both the hunter and its surroundings.

Engraved in Ultra High Relief (UHR), the reverse design by artist Emily Damstra brings the viewer face-to-face with a cougar (Puma concolor) in the Canadian wilderness. The quietly stalking cougar is steady on its feet, its big paws padding and silencing its approach as it creeps down a rocky slope strewn with fallen leaves from the surrounding trembling aspen trees. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
