Design:
Designed by Steve McPhee, your coin presents a contemporary portrait of the caribou in the Canadian wilderness. The carefully sculpted ungulate ispositioned slightly left-of-centre, where it strikes a majestic pose as it turns its head and looks towards the right side of the coin. Viewed in side profile, the caribou's rack of antlers adds to its imposing stature, with the main beam rising skyward while the brow-tines point forward above its muzzle.The stylized rendering of the landscape provides a simple yet artistic backdrop, while the brilliance of the engraved elements is enhanced by the coin's specimen finish. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
