This image, created by Susanna Blunt in 2003, presents the Queen in a right-profile effigy without a crown. It also includes commemorative dates of 1952 and 2022, celebrating her remarkable 70-year reign. The inscriptions include ELIZABETH II, D.G. REGINA, 2 DOLLARS, and 1952-2022.

Reverse

The reverse side of the 2023 Reverse Proof Lynx 3/4 oz Silver Coin features a captivating image of a lynx. Canadian Lynx are medium-sized cats with distinctive physical features, including tufted ears, a short tail with a black tip, and a dense, grayish-brown fur coat adorned with black spots. Their long legs and large, padded paws are specialized adaptations for walking on snow. The inscriptions read CANADA, 2023, 9999, FINE SILVER, 3/4 OZ, and ARGENT PUR.

History

Canadian Lynx are primarily found in the boreal forests of North America, including Canada and parts of the northern United States. These resilient creatures are perfectly adapted to cold climates and dense coniferous forests.
