A stunning colour portrait of a moose on a 2 oz. pure silver coin!
The moose is the second coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's Imposing Icons series, which invites you to get up close and personal with Canada's wild animal icons. With a 50 mm diameter, the coin's reverse allows plenty of room for a selectively coloured nose-to-muzzle meeting in an engraved natural setting. This might be your closest encounter with the reclusive moose!
A must-have addition for any nature or animal lover in your family!
- A never-before-seen view. The Royal Canadian Mint's wildlife-themed coins have featured full body or side-view portraits, but rarely a front-facing one—and never one with such a close view that you can almost feel the animal's breath.
- A larger diameter (50 mm) draws you deeper into the wilderness. Imagine taking a photo of the landscape when the elusive animal suddenly appears and steps into your shot—it's the perfect view of a wild Canada.
- Mix of finishes. Selective colour instantly draws the eye towards the wildlife, but the wilderness in the background is every bit as breathtaking. From mountains to forests, the Canadian landscape is beautifully re-created thanks to finely detailed engraving, with multiple finishes to add extra dimension.
- From Canada, with love. Canada is known for its outsized wilderness and wildlife, and these coins perfectly capture the rugged beauty of both. It's a four-part celebration of Canada's untouched corners and the wild creatures that quietly inhabit them.
- Limited worldwide mintage. Limited mintage of 2,500 coins makes this sought-after coin a rare collectible.
- Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
- 2 oz. 99.99% pure silver.
DID YOU KNOW?
- Just like us, the moose loves to cool off in the water on a hot summer day. It's been known to swim a distance of 19 kilometres and dive more than 5.5 metres deep to munch on aquatic plants.
- Sorry caribou, the moose is taller than you—a bull can weigh up to 700 kg and stand 2 metres tall at the shoulder. In Canada, the moose is the largest member of the deer family.
- Unlike the bighorn sheep, the moose sheds and re-grows its antlers annually.
DESIGN & ARTIST
Designed by artist Maurade Baynton, the reverse features a selectively coloured, close-up view of the moose (Alces alces). The finely engraved backdrop showcases the moose's natural habitat: the boreal forest that stretches across Canada. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
"The moose is a massive animal that can't be appreciated until seen in real life. This bull moose is growing out his antlers, which are in the velvet stage. Once these have finished growing, the velvet will be shed and the points sharpened as it readies for battle." MAURADE BAYNTON: ARTIST
ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT
The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. The Royal Canadian Mint is renowned for producing some of the highest quality and purity of gold and silver bullion coins and bars in the world. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
