Description: Introducing Canada’s Exquisite Extraordinary High Relief BuffaloIn 2020, The Royal Canadian Mint made history when it struck the world’s first “Extraordinary High Relief” coins. These majestic coins featured designs that rose an incredible 5.95 mm from the surface of the coins. Flash forward to 2021, and the Canadians have done it again — this time with the massive high relief commemorating the Buffalo with designs that are even higher than the first-ever Extraordinary High Relief edition!By George, That’s A High Relief Design!Not only does the coin feature the wooly and wild head of a shaggy North American Bison, but its furry face rises an incredible 6.1 mm off the surface of the coin! If you turn this coin to the side and look at it from the edge, the buffalo’s noble head seems to rise from the coin like a mountain rising from the plains where, like the song says, this noble creature roams! To give you an idea how high this is, consider George Washington raising from the quarter. This coin’s Extremely High Relief is more than 20 TIMES the relief found on a quarter!Flawless Proofs From Among The First ReleasedThe tremendous pressure required to create these Extremely High Relief (EHR) coins makes providing them with a proof finish a monumental challenge — but The Royal Canadian Mint has done it! Not only was this $25 legal-tender coin struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% fine silver, but each coin available here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded proofs have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.In addition, NGC has certified that these proofs are First Releases (FR) coins, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of their release. Collectors seek out these coins because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later. Each will also come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with a black display core and an exclusive Canadian-themed label that identifies the coin with a special EHR pedigree.
