Description
In the Eyes of the Cougar
The reverse image offers a close-up portrait of the cougar (Felis concolor). Here, the shy predator’s piercing gaze is decidedly fixed upon the viewer as though each one is studying the other. But the selective use ofcoloured enamel ensures the female cougar’s eyes are the image’s focal point; the distinctive greenish hue recreates the light-reflective qualities of the animal’s eyes, which are protected from the bright light conditions by the contracted pupils. The large cat’s facial features are also rendered in fine detail, from its short fur to its visible whiskers and attentive ears.
This coin is the second issue of the Distinctive Eyes collection.
The first coin of the series, released in 2014, depicts « In the Eyes of the Snowly Owl ».
The second coin of the series, released in 2015, depicts « In the Eyes of the Cougar ».
The third coin of the series, released in 2016, depicts « In the Eyes of the Spirit Bear ».
The fourth coin of the series, released in 2017, depicts « In the Eyes of the Timber Wolf ».
