2024 $20 Great Hunters: Cougar Ultra-High Relief Silver Coin

Its prey rarely sees or hears a cougar's approach... until it's too late. Guided by sharp senses and blessed with speed and agility, Puma concolor doesn’t rely on brute strength to hunt. Instead, Canada’s largest wild cat silently stalks its target, moving with precision and stealth through the foliage. As it nears its prey, it crouches, creeps, and swiftly pounces, delivering a fatal, prolonged bite. This elusive predator’s skillful hunting style is powerfully depicted in the second installment of our Great Hunters series, where each Ultra High Relief (UHR) portrait captures the untamed and often hidden nature of Canada’s wilderness.

Lock eyes with the stealthiest of the Great Hunters.
