2017 1/4 oz Canadian Gold Buffalo Coin

The Canadian wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) holds the title of the largest land mammal in North America, with some males reaching 2,000 pounds. Recognized by their big shoulder humps, dark coats, and solid frames, wood bison were almost driven to extinction during the early 1900s. Right now, BGASC is offering the 2017 1/4 oz Canadian Gold Buffalo Coin. **Highlights:** - **Arrives in a protective plastic flip!** - **Unique Canadian wood bison design!** - Contains 1/4 Troy oz of .9999 pure gold. - Bears a face value of $10 (CAD) backed by the federal government of Canada. - The obverse features Queen Elizabeth II. - On the reverse is a wood bison on open plains. Each 2017 1/4 oz Canadian Gold Buffalo Coin is packaged in a protective plastic flip. The design features precise radial lines for added security and beauty, covering the obverse’s background and outlining the reverse design field. **Obverse** The obverse of the 2017 Canadian Gold Buffalo Coin presents Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile relief. Designed in 2003 by Susanna Blunt, this portrait is special because it shows the Queen without a crown, a rare choice among official portraits during her reign. **Reverse** On the reverse of the 2017 1/4 oz Gold Buffalo, a wood bison is shown moving through open plains. These grazers play an important role in their ecosystems by eating grasses and sedges, helping to maintain healthy meadows for other plants and animals. Today, many wood bison live in protected spaces like Wood Buffalo National Park in Canadas north. **History** Wood bison have some unique traits compared to plains bison, such as higher shoulder humps, darker and shorter hair, and a thicker beard. These differences help them thrive in the boreal forests, where they move across wooded areas, marshes, and open meadows with ease. **Ordering** If you need help or have questions about gold coins, BGASC customer service is happy to assist.
