2014 Canada $25 O Canada Cowboy in the Canadian Rockies 1oz Silver Coin

Hold a cowboy in silver

You get 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver, struck by the Royal Canadian Mint in a 2014 $25 Canadian coin. The finish is crisp, with sharp relief you can catch in the light, and it comes sealed in its original maroon Royal Canadian Mint clam so the piece stays protected from the first time you open it.

See the Rocky Mountains scene

On the reverse, Bernie Brown gives you a Canadian cowboy on horseback moving through the foothills, with rolling pasture, grazing cattle, and the Rocky Mountains rising behind him. It's the kind of image you notice slowly. First the horse, then the rider, then the cold, clean lines of the snow-capped peaks.

Keep the series in your case

This is the third release in the O Canada series, and the mintage is capped at just 8,500 coins worldwide, which makes it easy to see why collectors look for it. The obverse carries Susanna Blunt's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, a familiar contrast to the western scene on the back, and a neat fit if you like coins that link Canadian heritage with a specific moment in the country's story.
