2012 1 oz Silver Canadian Cougar - Wildlife Series

Capture the raw intensity of the Canadian wilderness with the 2012 1 oz Silver Cougar, the third release in the Royal Canadian Mint’s iconic Wildlife Series. Struck from .9999 fine silver and weighing 1 troy ounce, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin brings the stealth and power of one of North America’s top predators to life in stunning detail.

Part of a limited-edition, six-coin program launched in 2011, the Wildlife Series pays tribute to Canada’s most awe-inspiring animals. The Silver Cougar remains one of the most dramatic designs in the collection, portraying the feline mid-snarl as it grips a tree limb—an embodiment of strength, precision, and the untamed spirit of the wild.

With only 1 million coins minted worldwide, the 2012 Cougar is a standout for collectors and investors alike. Designed by William Woodruff, the lifelike imagery and high-purity silver content make it a must-have for wildlife enthusiasts and bullion stackers who appreciate both art and intrinsic value. Each coin is official Canadian legal tender with a face value of $5 CAD.
