To view an elk or wapiti (Cervus canadensis) in the wild is to catch a glimpse of one of Canada’s most majestic animal species. Armed with impressive antlers that give it a stately air, the elk moves through the wilderness with a steady, confident gait as it browses for the vegetation that sustains it throughout the seasons. With this coloured fine silver coin, the Royal Canadian Mint celebrates this wild animal species – one that delights wildlife watchers and contributes to Canada’s rich biodiversity. Highly detailed engraving, a multi-finish background and the use of colour combine to bring depth and texture to the design, which exemplifies the outstanding artistry and craftsmanship for which the Royal Canadian Mint is internationally renowned. A celebration of Canada’s biodiversity. An impressive addition to nature-, wilderness- or Canadiana-themed. Packaging: Maroon clamshell with custom beauty box. THIS ITEM IS GST / HST EXEMPT.
