Third issue in a series of intricate 1/25 oz. pure gold coins.

Bubo scandiacus is known for its gorgeous white plumage and blazing yellow eyes.

On the reverse depicts the head of the snowy owl in exacting detail, its characteristically thick plumage nearly engulfing its small black bill and covering its smooth, wide-eyed head. The owl's striking eyes gleam with intensity. The shaded bars on the owl's head and neck feathers suggest that it is a female or a juvenile male.

Coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with black beauty box.
