The last coin in the series features a contemplative portrait of the moose. Order today!
The Wildlife Reflections series of contemplative portraits concludes with the most serene scene yet. A proud symbol of the Canadian wilderness, the moose inhabits the boreal forest that stretches from Newfoundland in the east to British Columbia in the west, and north to the Arctic treeline. A male moose’s antlers and imposing size (up to two metres tall at the shoulders) make it a sight to behold as it nobly, and quietly, wades in water—as it does on Coin #3, where the tranquil fall scene taps into the Canadian spirit and captures the undeniable majesty of our wild spaces.

Moose tend to stick close to various water sources within forested areas. It will swim to cool off on a hot day or wade in water to find food, even diving to the bottom of a lake to feed on aquatic plants.
Designed by wildlife artist Claude Thivierge, your coin’s reverse captures the beauty and colours of a bright fall day in the Canadian wilderness, where the engraved forest and rocks serve as a backdrop. Selective colour extends to the vegetation surrounding the adult bull moose and to its reflection in the water below, while a multi-texture effect mimics the look of fur and creates a shimmering effect on the water surface. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
