# 205 - The Canadian Lynx

in steemsilvergold •  6 years ago  (edited)

The solitary and elusive Canadian Lynx (Lynx canadensis) lives in Canada's boreal forests from Newfoundland to the Yukon Territories.

With thick fur, proeminent cheek ruffs, a short, black tipped tail and oversize paws, it is perfectly adapted for winter.

In 2005 the Royal Canadian Mint issued these 99.99% silver proof coins, that were originally featured on the 1995 Platinum Coin Set.

The four coins weighted respectively 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz and 1/10oz.

The 1oz coin ($5) features a female lynx with her kittens, while the 1/2oz coin ($4) shows us a solitary lynx prowling over rocky terrain.

The 1/4oz coin ($3) shows two lynx kittens exploring, while the 1/10oz coin ($2) features a stately profile of this magnificent animal.

These animals are so beautiful. They look so regal.

They are noble animals. Have you seen the way they walk?

Hey, @ronaldoavelino! You live in Canada, right? That is a pretty collection. Do you keep your collection stacked up in a walk in cabinet of some sort, or in totes? I am just imagining the many presentation cases you have for your coin collection. I think that you have one of the largest coin collection here in steemit!

I live in Brazil but my daughter lives in Canada and everytime I go there I come home with many Canadian coins. You are right about the size of my collections, but they are kept in several places. The most valued are kept in bank safes.

Cool coins, I like big cats their awesome creatures, thanks for showing us some of your great collection, cheers mate.

Thank you. Canada has great coins about animals and I have been showing some of them. Cheers.

Awww, they're so cute! And the fact that they're made of silver makes them even better! Congrats, man.

Thanks. RCM sometimes makes wonderful series. This is one of them. In a few days I will show another similar series, this time with the Fox.

What does the Fox say?

Awwe so cute!! I have never seen that set before, I'll have to look for it now, I really like the ones with the kittens. 💗 We used to have some that would hang out in my backyard when I was a kid.

On a different note, did you get your link yet? If not check your junk mail, that's where it went for @silvergingerman.

I did not receive yet and it is not in the junk mail. What should I do?

😧 I don't know. It's pretty new and buggy, I will ask around and get back to you when/if I get an answer. In case they ask your name, did you sign up under the same as here on steemit?

yes, same name.

Try emailing [email protected] about it, I got it off someone there, I don't know if it is valid tho. Worth a try. Others are having issues getting confirmation so you are not alone.

Thank you. I will try now.

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
