Where it came from
Released in 2015 by the Royal Canadian Mint, this 20-dollar silver coin was part of the UNESCO World Heritage series. This specific issue commemorated the shared spirit of conservation across international borders by pairing Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park with the Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries in China. It was created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, highlighting sites recognized for their outstanding universal value and the necessity of protected environments.
The coin features an intricate design by Canadian artist Glen Loates, who captured the likenesses of a wood bison and a giant panda within a shared landscape motif. Struck in 99.99% pure silver with a proof finish, the design process focused on balancing the distinct biological features of each animal against a backdrop that suggests unity between the two nations' conservation efforts. Upon its release, it was well-received by numismatists for its high-relief detail and its thematic departure from purely domestic Canadian heraldry.
