Greet the fiercest carnivores in the Western Hemisphere, guaranteed to get your adrenaline pumping! The majestic Apex Predators Series is a tribute to the world’s wild hunters, representing the pinnacle of evolution. Join us on an expedition celebrating the largest and most vicious creatures atop the food chain, locked in the eternal struggle for ultimate dominance, struck in heart-stopping detail! These powerful beasts are brought together in an epic clash of tooth and claw! In this dramatic vignette, an awe-inspiring grizzly has driven a cougar off its kill and into the lower branches of a maple tree, emblematic of North America. The agility of the stealthy cougar is captured beautifully. This elusive creature roams the Americas, its range spanning from the Yukon Territory in the north to the Andes Mountains in the south. The cougar is an ambush predator that shares its habitat (and sometimes, unwillingly, its prey) with other hunters, the largest and most iconic of which is the grizzly. The only force in the wild the cougar fears is the grizzly bear, with its massive bulk and thick coat and hide. To combat the grizzly, a cougar will rake the bear's sensitive nose with sharp claws, causing extreme pain to drive the bear off in turn. What a tremendous work of numismatic art! North America's top two predators are skillfully portrayed in mortal combat. This impressive, crown-sized coin represents an appropriate and commanding tribute to North America's apex predators. There are no legends on the obverse to detract from the drama of the vignette. Each coin is encapsulated in its original capsule of issue.
