Comment
To come across an elk (Cervus canadensis) in the wild is to observe one of Canada's most impressive species. The imposing antlers of this herbivore give it its majestic air. The elk moves through nature with a steady, confident stride, seeking out the vegetation that feeds it through the seasons. With this colorful fine silver coin, the Royal Canadian Mint highlights this wild species that enriches Canadian biodiversity and delights nature lovers.With a steady, confident stride, the elk moves in herds through the Canadian wilderness. This herbivore grazes and seeks out the vegetation that sustains it from one season to the next. More than half of Canada's total elk population is found in British Columbia. Much of the remaining population makes its home in the mountain foothills and boreal forests of Alberta. The cervid adapts to all kinds of landscapes, from marshes to river flats to semi-arid regions. A partial migrant, the elk moves with the seasons within the boundaries of the territory it considers its home range, be it just a few square kilometers or, on the contrary, several hundred kilometers.
Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with an illustrated protective box.
