The nation of Canada is home to a great variety of nocturnal animals. The barn owl is just one of many, but is also one of the most adept nighttime hunters. The acute senses and secretive ways of the owl allow it to quietly stalk its prey and strike without the creature even knowing what happened.

Each of the 2017 1 oz Proof Canadian Silver Nocturnal By Nature Barn Owl Coins in this listing features a brilliant finish that includes black rhodium plating. The plating gives the background field of the coin the appearance of a dark night’s sky as the barn owl swoops forward. If you tilt the coin you’ll the color shift from the dark of night to a gunmetal grey.

Your Barn Owl Silver Coin ships to you inside of the iconic maroon clamshell of the Royal Canadian Mint. More than protection for your coin as it ships, the clamshell makes for a great display to hold your coin as part of your personal collection. Included with each serialized coin is a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

On the reverse of the 2017 1 oz Proof Canadian Silver Nocturnal by Nature Barn Owl Coin is a design from Jamie Desrochers. In addition to the black rhodium plating on this surface, you’ll see a barn owl in beautiful silver swooping down upon its prey with its wings spread wide and its talons ready to capture a meal.

The obverse of the Nocturnal By Nature coins features the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s effigy is captured on the obverse of all Canadian coinage and was created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt.
