Description
Oreamnus americanus
Possessing a thick white coat and black horns and hooves, Mountain Goats are typically spotted along steep mountain slopes, ridgelines, and cliffs.
Agile and sure-footed, Mountain Goats use their two-toed hooves to skillfully navigate the rocky terrain of the high-altitude habitats. Measuring more than three feet tall at the shoulder, these large mammals can weigh as much as 300 pounds. Far removed from most predators, Mountain Goats are susceptible to attack from above by golden eagles.
This coin features a detailed depiction of a Mountain Goat on its obverse. Bordered by a classic wreath design, the reverse contains a space for engraving.
This proof-like coin is minted in MerlinGold,® a proprietary brass alloy that simulates the look and feel of gold.
Each coin measures 1 7/8 inch (47mm) in diameter.
This is an NWTMINT surplus item. Packaging may vary.
