The sixth gold bullion coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Call of the Wild series, the 1 oz Gold Moose is rendered in exquisite detail to celebrate this "Call of the Wild" coin and is crafted in the Royal Canadian Mint’s exacting standard of 99.999% pure gold, the highest standard of pure gold available in the world.
From provincial coats of arms to sporting mascots, the mighty majestic moose has long been one of Canada's most popular symbols. Found in forests across Canada–from the Alaskan border to Newfoundland and Labrador–this "gentle giant" is known for its easy-going nature. This, along with its determination, makes the moose the perfect representative for the spirit of Canada's wilderness and the people who inhabit the land!
Males (or bulls) weigh an average of 600 kilograms, but some have also been known to weigh as much as 1,500 kilograms! Antlers are shed and re-grown each year! They can span up to 1.5 m., which adds to the moose's already imposing size. Their bone growth rate is believed to be among the fastest of any animal in the world!
This coin features a micro-engraved maple leaf laser mark in the coin’s field.

The assay certificate on the back of the card certifies the authenticity and purity of the coin, and it is signed by the RCM’s Chief Assayer. As an even more secure investment option, this coin is a great piece to acquire for both investors and collectors.
