2015 Canada 25-cent Rock Rabbit 0.5g Pure Gold Coin (TAX Exempt)

2015 Canada 25-cent Rock Rabbit 0.5g Pure Gold Coin (TAX Exempt)

Canada is home to a rich biodiversity, with different ecosystems that support a vast number of animal species. The Royal Canadian Mint's series of small pure gold coins proudly showcases some of Canada's smaller animal residents - including the smallest member of the rabbit family, the pika.

Despite the coin's small size, this side-profile portrait of a pika, as designed by Canadian artist Derek C. Wicks, captures the mammal's soft features and expression in exquisite detail. Inquisitively peering up to the right, the pika is poised with its front paws leaning against a loose pile of rocks that line the slopes of the Canadian Rockies. Masterful engraving recreates this timid creature's prominent, rounded ears as well as the fur that covers its stocky little body and face.
