Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Maurade Baynton, your coin transports you to a breathtaking landscape set in western Canada. Under the golden raysof the late summer sun, an elk pauses mid-step while moving across the open grassland near the edge ofthe 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 orthe sound of birds suddenly taking flight. By turning its head, the elk offers a left-side profile that showcases its facial features and allows the viewer to fully appreciate the width of its pointed antlers, which rise up like the mighty peaks of the Canadian Rockies in the background. The overall designis enhanced by multiple finishes that add an incomparable sense of dimension to the artistry, which conveys respect and admiration for the elk and its role as part of Canada's rich biodiversity.
