Gold Canadian Growling Cougar Coins

Monex proudly presents the 2015 Growling Cougar, the second gold coin released in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Call of the Wild series. Consisting of one-ounce .99999 pure gold, this exquisite coin celebrates Canada’s most powerful, elusive and beautiful predators known for its speed and agility.

Rendered in intricate detail by the Royal Canadian Mint engravers, the reverse side of the coin features the profile of a cougar backed by lines representing the cougar’s growl. The exceptional details of this coin emphasize the muzzle spiked with long whiskers, short round ears and dense fur, bringing the intensity of the moment fully to life. The obverse side of the coin features the right-profile image of Queen Elizabeth II designed in 2003 by Canadian artist, Susanna Blunt.

The Canadian Growling Cougar coin has a diameter of 30 mm and is crafted from .99999 pure gold, the highest standard available in the world; and at $200 (CAD), has the highest face value of any legal tender one-ounce gold coin. For enhanced security, each coin includes a micro-engraved maple leaf laser mark in the coin’s field. In the center of the mark, visible under magnification, the number “15” denotes the coin’s year of issue.

A unique credit card sized package protects the coin and is ideal for easy handling and storage. This packaging also features a built-in assay card signed by the RCM’s Chief Assayer certifying the coin’s authenticity and purity.
