The steppe bisonhad large imposing horns with as much as a 1 metre (3 ft) spread between the tips on some males. This magnificent beast was hunted by cave lions, wolves and humans. Palaeontologists estimate it died out about 11,000 years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHighlights: This coin is a rarity on so many levels. Its design provides a rare glimpseof a long-lost ice age animal; its uncommon composition of one ounce 99.95% pure platinum is rarely offered independent of a set; and its mintage of just 200 coins worldwide makes it a rare and very desirable numismatic treasure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReverse: The steppe bison with its imposing horns basedon images graciously provided by the Canadian Museumof Nature.\u003cbr\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003cbr\u003eProduct Number\u003cbr\u003e105866\u003cbr\u003eMintage\u003cbr\u003e200\u003cbr\u003eComposition\u003cbr\u003e99.95% platinum\u003cbr\u003eWeight\u003cbr\u003e31.16 g\u003cbr\u003eEdge\u003cbr\u003eserrated\u003cbr\u003eCertificate\u003cbr\u003eserialized\u003cbr\u003eFace Value\u003cbr\u003e$300\u003cbr\u003eFinish\u003cbr\u003eproof\u003cbr\u003eArtist\u003cbr\u003eRoyal Canadian Mint (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40785188421707,"sku":"RCM.CA.OT.CN.003838","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-platinum-2009-d300-steppe-bison-1oz_-_9995","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
