Comment

or Canadians, the caribou embodies the history of the nation's timeless landscape. In the caribou, we admire a long migratory journey through space and time. We identify with its resilience, its ability, over millennia and endless miles, to feed and survive in harsh conditions and remote places. It teaches us about survival: the benefits of slow, steady progress through sustained effort, the security provided by the herd against predators large and small, and the importance of the intrinsic bond that unites us to the world we inhabit.

It's no surprise that this incomparable mammal is a Canadian emblem, honoured since 1937 on 25-cent circulation coins, designated the official animal of Newfoundland and Labrador and depicted holding the shield in the coat of arms of Nunavut.

Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a padded burgundy double-shell case with a colorful protective sleeve. Automatically translated

our la population canadienne, le caribou incarne l'histoire du paysage intemporel de cette nation. Dans le caribou, nous admirons un long voyage migratoire dans l'espace et le temps. Nous nous identifions à sa résilience, à sa capacité, sur des millénaires et d'interminables kilomètres, de se nourrir et de survivre dans des conditions difficiles et des endroits reculés. Il nous apprend la survie : les avantages des progrès lents et constants d'un effort soutenu, la sécurité que procure la harde contre les prédateurs petits et grands ainsi que l'importance du lien intrinsèque qui nous unit au monde que nous habitons.

Il n'est pas surprenant que ce mammifère incomparable soit un emblème canadien, honoré depuis 1937 sur les pièces de circulation de 25 cents, désigné animal officiel de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador et représenté tenant l'écu dans les armoiries du Nunavut.

Emballage
La pièce est encapsulée et présentée dans un boîtier à double coque bordeaux rembourré et assorti d'un fourreau protecteur tout en couleurs.
