They are some of the most efficient
hunters in the wild, aided by a wondrous pair of eyes that seemingly
glow in the night. Many of Canada's nocturnal creatures are equipped
with optical adaptations such as the tapetum lucidum, which amplifies night-time vision and gives the eye aniride scent shine when light is cast upon it.
Beginning with the great horned owl, this three-coin series takes a
closer look at these extraordinary facial features. Each pair of animal
eyes is beautifully enhanced with a glossy enamel effect that adds
unprecedented colour complexity, while glow-in-the-dark technology
allows them to peer out from the dark!
