This low mintage one ounce $200 pure gold coin presents a striking contemporary wildlife portrait done in the distinct style of Northwest Coast art. The shapes form a visual language that dates back thousands of years, and it continues to capture the attention of art collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. Known as formline, it gives today’s artists a powerful basis to create arresting images that echo with the wisdom and skill of the past.
The sound of clashing horns can be heard throughout the mountains when bighorn rams vie for dominance — a powerful show of force that reverberates from this original coin design by renowned Kwakiutl artist Richard Hunt. The engraved lines and forms are both powerful and expressive, whether they’re enhanced with multiple finishes or multiple colours. The coin weighs one ounce of pure gold, and has a mintage limited to just 550.
