The male Big Horn Sheep is famed for their large, curled horns. These horns are a status symbol amongst males, as well as a weapon used in battles for dominance or mating rights. The Rocky Mountain Big Horn sheep can be found from Canada all the way south into Mexico, spending summers at higher elevations and winters in lower elevation mountain passes. A mature male Big Horn sheep's horns can weigh more than all of the other bones in it's body!

The obverse of the coin has the Susanna Blunt effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The reverse features a colourized Big Horn Sheep ram standing on a rock face. Colourized trees displaying fall colours are in the foreground, with a river and colourized forest scene behind the sheep. The top of the field contains a vista of mountain peaks.

ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT

The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
