A design full of wilderness: the Canadian mountain lion

The cougar is one of the most powerful and yet most elusive predators of North America. It is precisely this blend of elegance and wildness that the design captures. Above the predator's head is the inscription CANADA, below it the details FINE GOLD 99999 1 OZ OR PUR. A tiny, laser-micro-engraved maple leaf bearing the year "15" serves as a sophisticated security feature, confirming authenticity and making counterfeiting virtually impossible. The reverse features the familiar portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Susanna Blunt, flanked by the value "200 DOLLARS" and the year of issue.

Why these gold coins are so special

The "Call of the Wild" series builds on the success of the popular Wildlife series in silver, translating its fascination into purest gold. While many classic bullion coins such as the Maple Leaf shine with a fineness of 999.9, the Cougar stands out even further with five nines. This combination of the highest purity, limited availability, and an extraordinary animal design makes the coin a sought-after object – both for newcomers wishing to purchase a single ounce and for connoisseurs assembling multiple ounces of a series. Anyone who compares the details will quickly recognize its particular appeal compared to its predecessor, the Wolf.

Gold is humanity's oldest currency – it has outlived every paper currency and has never lost its shine over the millennia.

A store of value that lasts for generations

For over 6,000 years, gold has served as a proven store of value. It possesses an inherent, intrinsic value, has never had a price of zero, and is recognized worldwide as a medium of exchange. This makes physical gold an outstanding inflation hedge, preserving your purchasing power when confidence in fiat currency wanes. It is no coincidence that central banks around the world hold gigantic gold reserves – a clear signal that they themselves place only limited trust in their own printed paper money.

This gives you several tangible advantages:

• Crisis protection: In economically and politically turbulent times, gold serves as a reliable anchor – crisis protection that has been tested over the centuries.
• Tax advantage: Investment gold is exempt from VAT, and profits from its sale are generally tax-free after a minimum holding period of one year.
• High liquidity: The coin can be traded worldwide and can be converted back into cash quickly at any time.
• Wealth transfer: Gold is durable, retains its physical properties, and can be passed down excellently from generation to generation.

Whether as the centerpiece of a growing collection or as a solid building block for long-term retirement provision – the 1 oz Gold Wildlife Cougar 2015 combines fascinating aesthetics with the reassuring substance of purest gold. A piece of Canadian wilderness, cast in one of the most stable-value goods known to humankind.
