Comment
From provincial coats of arms to sports team mascots, the majestic moose has long been one of Canada's best-known symbols. The Royal Canadian Mint has decided to immortalize this emblematic animal on a superb coin. Populating the forests of Canada from the Alaskan border to Newfoundland and Labrador, this "gentle giant" is renowned for its docile nature. This quality, combined with the animal's determination, makes it the perfect symbol of Canadian nature and the people who live there.Did you know that?
- The average male weighs 600 kilograms, while some individuals can reach 1,500 kilograms!
- Antlers fall and grow back every year! Some measure up to 1.5 metres, adding to the moose's already imposing size.
- Its bone growth is said to be among the fastest in the animal world!
- This muscular, herbivorous mammal consumes up to 23 kilograms of vegetation a day; half its diet comes from flowering plants and tree shoots, while the other half is made up of aquatic plants.
Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a black protective sleeve.
