Comment

Some 2.4 million caribou roam freely in Canada's vast wilderness, forming one of the world's largest populations. Four subspecies of Rangifer tarandus native to Canada inhabit the tundra and boreal zone, from the west coast to Newfoundland and Labrador, and from the Canada-US border to the Ellesmere Islands. Caribou are exceptional travelers, covering more kilometers in a single migration than any other land animal. Some of Canada's caribou populations travel up to 5,000 km per year.

Le caribou est un voyageur exceptionnel, parcourant plus de kilomètres au cours d’une migration que n’importe quel autre animal terrestre. Certaines des populations de caribous du Canada parcourent jusqu'à 5 000 km par année.

This inset is created using a special technique called "micro-engraving," which involves engraving tiny details onto the coin's surface using a special tool. This feature adds an extra layer of depth and realism to the coin's design, making it a truly distinctive and collectible piece.
