We carry this coin as part of our broader selection of sovereign silver bullion from the Royal Canadian Mint, a producer consistently recognized for precision striking and exceptional metal purity. The .9999 fine silver standard used here places it among the purest government-issued silver coins available on the market.
The Canadian Wildlife Series ran from 2011 through 2013, featuring six designs in total, each highlighting a distinct species native to Canada's natural landscape. The Wood Bison was the sixth and final release in the series, issued in 2013 alongside growing collector demand for the complete set. The series was designed to honor Canada's wildlife heritage through high-relief artistic detail on a one-ounce silver canvas, and it quickly became one of the more sought-after limited run programs the Royal Canadian Mint produced during that era.
The Royal Canadian Mint itself was established in 1908 and has since grown into one of the world's most respected sovereign minting facilities. It operates production sites in both Ottawa and Winnipeg and is responsible for producing Canadian circulation coinage as well as a wide range of bullion, numismatic, and commemorative products distributed globally. The Mint's reputation for technical precision and design quality is well established across both the collector and bullion markets.
The reverse of this coin features a detailed depiction of a Wood Bison in its natural habitat, rendered with a level of sculptural depth that distinguishes the Wildlife Series from standard bullion strikes. The animal is shown in profile with careful attention to its distinctive humped shoulder, thick fur, and massive frame. The engraving captures both the power and the stillness of the animal, set against a naturalistic background that reinforces the coin's conservation theme. The inscriptions on the reverse identify the series, confirm the weight and purity, and include the year of issue.
The obverse carries the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as designed by Susanna Blunt, which has served as the standard portrait on Canadian coinage since 2003. The portrait is accompanied by the face value, the country of issue, and the year, following the conventional layout used across Royal Canadian Mint sovereign coinage. The coin's Brilliant Uncirculated finish gives both sides a sharp, well-defined appearance with consistent luster across the surface.
Each coin in the Canadian Wildlife Series was produced at the Royal Canadian Mint to .9999 fine silver, one of the highest purity standards maintained in government-issued silver bullion. The Mint's production process involves rigorous quality control at the striking and finishing stages, ensuring each coin meets published weight and purity tolerances. These standards are not aspirational; they are verified through the Mint's internal assay and inspection processes before coins leave the facility.
We verify the authenticity, weight, and purity of products we handle before they reach our customers. Our authorized dealer relationships with both PCGS and NGC further support our ability to facilitate grading and authentication for coins where certification is desired, including issues from the Canadian Wildlife Series that carry strong numismatic interest.
Brilliant Uncirculated describes a coin that has been struck for quality presentation rather than for circulation. BU coins exhibit full mint luster, sharp design details, and no wear from handling or exchange. Minor contact marks from the minting and handling process can be present and are considered normal within the BU grade, distinct from signs of circulation or mishandling. For a coin of this nature, BU condition is consistent with what collectors and bullion buyers expect when purchasing directly through reputable channels.
Individual coins ship in protective plastic flips to preserve their surface and finish during transit. The standard tube for this coin holds 25 pieces, and orders at that quantity ship in a sealed mint tube. Larger bulk quantities ship in sealed boxes containing multiple tubes. If you are purchasing a single coin or a smaller quantity, you can expect careful protective packaging appropriate to the condition grade.
Pricing for this coin reflects the current spot price of silver combined with a premium that accounts for the coin's production quality, legal tender status, and the added collector demand associated with a completed series release. As the final coin in the Canadian Wildlife Series, the Wood Bison carries a premium that tends to run somewhat higher than standard one-ounce silver bullion, driven in part by demand from collectors seeking to complete the six-coin set.
Our pricing is structured around real-time market conditions and updated to reflect changes in the underlying silver spot price. We display the bid/ask spread directly on the product page, giving buyers a clear picture of both the acquisition cost and the current resale value before a purchase is made. This transparency is central to how we price every product across our catalog.
One-ounce silver coins from the Royal Canadian Mint carry strong recognition across the wholesale and secondary bullion markets. The .9999 fine silver standard and sovereign issuance make these coins straightforward to evaluate and trade. The Canadian Wildlife Series, and the Wood Bison specifically, also benefits from collector demand that can support premiums above generic bullion in certain market conditions.
We operate a two-way market that allows customers to both purchase and sell within the same platform. Liquidity for a product like this one is worth considering before a purchase, not only at the point of resale, and we structure our buyback pricing to reflect current wholesale conditions on both sides of the transaction. Buyers at any stage of the process can use our platform to evaluate what a product is worth in the current market before committing to either side of a trade.
The Wood Bison holds a specific appeal that standard one-ounce silver coins do not share. As the final release in a six-coin wildlife series, it occupies a defined place in a collectible program with a clear beginning and end, which tends to attract both completion buyers and those who simply find the design compelling on its own. The high-relief engraving quality and .9999 fine silver purity make it attractive on purely technical grounds as well.
For buyers who want a one-ounce silver coin that sits between a purely generic bullion product and a fully numismatic collectible, this coin represents a practical middle ground. Its legal tender status, sovereign issuance, standardized weight and purity, and recognizable design all contribute to a product that is easy to hold, easy to describe, and straightforward to value relative to the broader silver market.
We have operated as a precious metals dealer since 2010, and our approach has been consistent throughout: transparent pricing, reputable sourcing, verified product authenticity, and a purchasing experience designed around the buyer's long-term interests rather than short-term sales pressure. We carry an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain active memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association. These affiliations reflect our commitment to industry standards, not just our own internal ones.
Our authorized dealer status with both PCGS and NGC means we can support customers who want to pursue third-party certification on coins from series like the Canadian Wildlife program, where certified examples can carry distinct market value. Whether you are buying a single coin or building a larger position in silver, you will find the same pricing structure, the same authentication standards, and the same customer support on every order. Fulfillment is handled with care and every transaction is backed by responsive service across the entire purchase process.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including coins from the Royal Canadian Mint and other sovereign minting programs. Rather than static retail pricing, Pro members see prices that reflect real-time supply and demand at the wholesale level, without additional dealer markups layered on top. For a coin like the Wood Bison, where premiums can shift based on collector demand and secondary market activity, having visibility into live wholesale pricing provides a meaningfully clearer picture of what the coin is actually worth at any given moment.
Pro members also benefit from real-time portfolio valuation based on current wholesale bid pricing, along with proprietary research tools that allow products to be compared across premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity metrics. These tools are particularly useful when evaluating collectible silver coins alongside standard bullion, where pricing dynamics differ and understanding the spread between bid and ask has direct practical relevance to any buying or selling decision.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make every transaction straightforward and secure. Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency through BitPay. Each payment method is processed through a secure transaction environment, and our checkout process is designed to minimize friction while maintaining the standards expected of a nationally recognized precious metals dealer.
