2019 3/4 oz Canadian Silver Wild Horse Reverse Proof Coin

North America in general, and the Canadian wilderness, in particular, can be an incredibly inhospitable environment. For the very first outsiders arriving from Europe, the North American continent must have seemed like a tall order to tackle in trying to tame the unforgiving terrain and wild animals of this land.

The Canadian Horse proved to be the only breed of horse capable of surviving the elements and carrying mankind on his quest to tame the land from one coast to the next. The Canadian Horse is descended from a breeding of the royal Norman horses of King Louis XIV and the Breton/Andalusian horse. Canadian Horses are the purest North American breed of horse and earned a reputation as “little iron horses.”

On the obverse of these 2019 3/4 oz Canadian Silver Wild Horse Reverse Proof Coins, you’ll find the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the fourth-generation effigy of the Queen on Canadian currency and the first on a Canadian coin since the 1930s to depict the monarch without a crown.
