As a native of the Great White North, the snowy owl is distinguished by its beautiful adaptations to its environment and hunting prowess. With characteristically large eyes, this bird of prey is fully acclimatized to its environment by adapting with a thick layer of feathers that keep it at an optimal temperature to hunt. Male snowy owls are distinguished by their completely white feathers, while females and younger owls have white feathers with black plumage. These owls are proficient hunters, primarily feeding on small to large rodents.

ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT

The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. The Royal Canadian Mint is renowned for producing some of the highest quality and purity of gold and silver bullion coins and bars in the world. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1999.
