Description
The majestic moose is paid tribute on a coin worthy of the king of the forest, as it is struck in 99.999% pure gold—the purest gold in the world! The moose is a deliberate and serene creature (with a few mating-season exceptions), and has permeated Canadian consciousness by somehow becoming a symbol synonymous with Canadian identity. Though moose are part of the deer family, they are solitary animals and prefer not to live in herds. Mintage is limited to 600 coins. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
Masterfully crafted to bring depth and texture, the iconic antlers of this noble animal are displayed to great effect here, as is the painstakingly detailed fur and snow-covered boreal background. The moose is depicted here in three-quarter view, its musculature and steady eyes indicative of its dominant nature.
