Fifth Issue of the Series "Iconic Canadian Animals". This gold coin was designed by Canadian artist Maurade Baynton and transports the viewer to a breathtaking landscape set in western Canada. Under the golden rays of the late summer sun, an elk (Cervus canadensis) pauses mid-step while moving across the open grassland near the edge of the boreal forest. The majesty of this iconic species is on full view, its features all engraved in outstanding detail as the elk turns its gaze up at the sky, possibly alerted by the calls of the herd or the sound of birds suddenly taking flight. Its wide-branching antlers only add to its height and stature, giving this iconic animal a majestic quality that is beautifully conveyed on this stunning gold coin.
