THIRD COIN IN SERIES! The spirit of the lynx prowls in extraordinarily high relief! Order today!
The multifaceted lynx head by Canadian artist TraianGeorgescu is the final of a 3-coin series featuringthe innovative use of extraordinarily high relief (EHR). EHR goes beyond what high and even ultra-high relief techniques can accomplish and elevates the subject matter to around 6 mm. The striking visual effect of a coin that becomes more of a sculpture than a simple embossing is given an exceptional brilliance with innovative proof finish, making the silver shine like never before. This coin, featuring a multifaceted design built out of 435 polygons that are crafted in proof finish to make them sparkle like a diamond, really is an important advancement in minting.

Special features:
FINAL COIN IN OUR THREE COIN SERIES! Every coin features an animal head (wolf, bear, and lynx) in a new multifaceted EHR minting technique.
INNOVATIVE WORLD FIRST COINING TECHNOLOGY! The Lynx Head features an ingenious approach to coin design. This third issue in the 3-coin series is the third proof-quality coins struck with extraordinarily high relief (EHR)-a new term in the world of minting. EHR isdefined by an impressive relief that reaches to around 6 millimetres on a coin of only 36 millimetres in diameter and 1 oz. in weight. Ultra-high relief coins barely reach 2 millimetres of heightand standard relief coins remain almost flat in comparison.
435 POLYGONS! The Lynx Head's multiple facets, composed of 435 polygons, are crafted in proof finish to reflect light from various angles. The result is a coin that sparkles like a diamond. The highest quality proof finish combined with the EHR technique gives it an unequaled brilliance and sharpness, making it a world first coin of its kind. A lightly frosted background accentuates the sparkle of the central main design, giving its already dazzling subject even more emphasis. On the obverse, multiple light-relief facets provide similar luminous, reflective effect.
A DESIGN LIKE NO OTHER! Thanks to the ingenious EHR technology, the lynx head coin design is no longerjust an embossing, it is a sculpture built upon your coin.
A GORGEOUS BEAST! The Canada Lynx is a remarkable animal that cat lovers can't help but adore. It looks like your beloved feline pet, but biggerand with prominent ear tufts.
INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
LOW MINTAGE! Limited to 2,500 coins worldwide.
ONE OZ. PURE SILVER! Your coin is crafted from one ounce of 99.99% pure silver.

Design:
The reverse sculpture by Traian Georgescu features a multifaceted lynx head built out of 435 polygons. The three-dimensional form protrudes from the flat coin, invoking both nature and geometry in its execution. The extraordinarily high relief plays an integral part of the design, introducing the coin among the first of its kind in the world-sharp, brilliant and doing away with the conventional flatness of minting.
