2005 Canada Proof set Fractional The Lynx .9999 Fine Silver 4-coin Set (1oz-1/10oz)

The Lynx Canada’s  easy to identify. With thick fur, prominent cheek ruffs, a short, black-tipped tail and oversize paws, it is perfectly adapted for winter. And its distinctive ear tufts amplify sound to make it a formidable hunter. Solitary and elusive, the lynx can be found in Canada's boreal forests from Newfoundland to the Yukon Territories. It hunts squirrels, grouse and deer, but its preference by far is the snowshoe hare. In fact the populations of these two animals are inextricably linked. As long as 200 years ago, the Hudson Bay Company began noting how a rise in lynx led to a drop in rabbits; and how fewer rabbits led to fewer lynx. Back then, the lynx population would peak at 70 times its low. Today development, forestry and hunting have brought this number down to six. Efforts to revive the lynx population are ongoing. And you can show your affection for this wildlife treasure with these 99.99% silver coins ¥ each one struck with a dramatic visual essay of this beautiful animal. Struck in fractional denominations that are traditionally reserved for platinum coins, this four coin set is one of unquestionable prestige
