Product Description
The Sable Island horse has roamed freely for generations, largely untouched by human influence on a remote sandbar off the coast of Nova Scotia. These wild horses have called Sable Island home for nearly 300 years, surviving in isolation and sometimes harsh weather. Formal protections were put in place in 1961 to ensure they remained free and undisturbed. Their enduring spirit is captured on this fine silver coin's reverse, based on the photograph The Stallion and the Sea taken by equine photographer Sandy Sharkey. The image of a galloping stallion inspires awe and reverence for these creatures, who are cherished symbols of resilience, independence and survival. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Steven Rosati, alongside the inscription D.G. REX.
