The elk is found throughout Western Canada, and is one of the largest land mammals in North America. During mating season, male elk bellow out their call to attract mates. If a challenger bellows back, a fight often ensues with the elk butting each other with their antlers.
The central feature of the reverse of this coin is the intricately detailed profile of the head of an elk with waves in the background representing its call. The antlers are displayed in all of their glory, and the elk's mouth is open in full bugle.
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. 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.
