Canada: 2018 $20 Majestic Wildlife: Courageous Cougar - 1 oz. Pure Silver Coloured Coin
Design: The coin features a detailed reproduction of the Star of Military Valour, one of three Military Valour Decorations established in 1993. As originally designed by the late Bruce W. Beatty, C.M., S.O.M., C.D., the four-pointed gold star is patterned after the Star of Courage, with sculpted maple leaves positioned at each of the four angles. The Star's colours are replicated by an application of red, silver and gold translucent paint over the engraved elements—especially the maple leaf superimposed in the centre and surrounded by a laurel wreath. The reverse includes the engraved commemorative dates "1993" and "2018", as well as the word "CANADA". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
