The reverse image by artist Steve Hepburn centres around a depiction of the wild spirit of the Stampede's bareback bronc rodeo event. A powerful dark-haired horse with blonde tail and mane advances on the viewer head-first, its hind legs fully raised behind in as it prepares to extend them fully behind it. Its front hooves kick up a dramatic cloud of dust and dirt as the fearless cowboy battles for control. From the vantage point of ideal ring-side seats, the viewer perceives in fine detail the required one-arm clutching stance of the mustachioed cowboy whose face, locked in a grim frown of determination, is just visible beneath the brim of his weathered cowboy hat. Against a gleaming polished silver background, the words 'Calgary Stampede' are embossed in Western typeface that gives the feel of an old-time rodeo poster, while the word 'Dollar' in vintage typeface surmounts embossed '2012' and 'Canada' markings. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Item Number: 119102\u003cbr\u003e Face Value: 1 dollar\u003cbr\u003e Mintage: 10,000\u003cbr\u003e Composition: 99.99% fine silver\u003cbr\u003e Weight (g): 23.17\u003cbr\u003e Diameter (mm): 36.07\u003cbr\u003e Edge: Serrated\u003cbr\u003e Finish: Proof\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Special Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10px;\"\u003eA low mintage of only 10,000 coins makes this silver commemorative proof dollar a sought-after collectible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10px;\"\u003eWhether or not you have the opportunity to attend the 100th Anniversary Calgary Stampede, this beautiful proof silver dollar offers you the chance to celebrate by owning a piece of Stampede history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10px;\"\u003eMakes an ideal gift for Western fans, Stampede aficionados, horse lovers, and collectors of beautiful coins.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10px;\"\u003eInvest in a sparkling silver rendering of a uniquely Canadian celebration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint branded black clamshell case lined with flock and protected by a customized design sleeve\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176103706756,"sku":"119102\/CSD12.3","price":137.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2012_STAMPEDE_DOLLAR_COIN__38155.1399512836.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759520585","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2012-special-edition-silver-dollar-100-years-of-the-calgary-stampede","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
