2019 Canadian $20 The Fox: Canadian Fauna - 1 oz Fine Silver Coloured Coin

2019 Canadian $20 The Fox: Canadian Fauna - 1 oz Fine Silver Coloured Coin

One of Canada’s most common mammals, the fox’s true character is a far cry from the trickster of fairy tales and fables. It is timid, secretive and quite nervous by nature. When survival isn’t at stake, the fox can finally relax. And when it does, its displays of affection are those of a peaceful, social creature that loves to groom, play and cuddle as much as its domesticated relative, “man’s best friend.” From a parent’s love to a bonding pair, our Canadian Fauna series is a continuing look at how Canada’s wildlife shows affection in the most familiar (and adorable) ways! The second coin in the series travels to central Canada to catch a glimpse of affectionate foxes cuddling beneath a sunset sky.
