The 5 oz gold coin is dedicated to the Great Horned Owl. The Great Horned Owl is widespread in North America and can be found in deserts, wetlands, forests, grasslands and cities. Their soft feathers protect them from the cold weather and help them fly quietly to hunt for their prey. The coin was struck by the Royal Canadian Mint from an impressive 5 ounces of 99.99% pure gold. The motive features a Great Horned Owl in flight, preparing to catch its prey. As with the two predecessors "Peregrine Falcon" and "Red-tailed Hawk", the motive was designed by Emily Damstra, whose initials "ED" are also featured on the coin. Also included in the design are details of weight, fineness, denomination, year of issue and country of issue. The reverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The mintage of the third gold coin from the series "Birds of Prey" is strictly limited to only 99 pieces worldwide. The coin is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of authenticity.
