Canadian Silver 1 oz Wood Bison 2013

Coins may have whats known as milk spots or white spots on them. These coins are from original mint rolls. Issued in January of 2013, the 2013 Canadian Wood Bison was the last installment in the Canadian Wildlife Series. The Royal Canadian Mint is responsible for this magnificent collection and the popularity surround this series. Most know for its Silver Maple Leaf series, the Royal Canadian Mint has set off to produce smaller series, with a more controlled production, that only lasts a few years. The Wildlife Series was first minted in 2011, with the Wolf kicking off the collection. A coin, with a different animal, would be produced every six months, for 3 years. Each coin produced would represent an important animal in the wild, such as those that are endangered. Without knowing what to expect, the Royal Canadian Mint was pleasantly surprised by the popularity of this series. It is this popularity that has encouraged RCM to keep minting small coin series, with limited mintages.

The 2013 Wood Bison is similar to the Antelope and Moose designs, wherein they are a simple but magnificent illustration of the real-life animals. The Wood Bison design, however, holds a stronger meaning. The Wood Bison in Canada have officially been entered into the Species at Risk Act. It is a quiet but strong animal that deserves to be recognized and this silver coin does just that. The first 3 coins of the Wildlife Series are of fierce predators so it only makes sense to have the last 3 coins being of the meek variety. This .9999 pure silver coin is in brilliant uncirculated condition and is nothing short of the high minting standards of the RCM.
