The fourth gold bullion coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Call of the Wild series, the 1 oz Gold Canadian Elk is rendered in exquisite detail to celebrate this "Call of the Wild" coin.
Known for its towering antlers, this “crowned” prince of the wild is largely found in western Canada, with some populations scattered across the Prairie Provinces and in different parts of Ontario. The elk typically lives in a single-sex grouping, with cows, calves and younger bulls forming a summer herd while mature bulls form separate groups.

As an even more secure investment option, this coin is a great piece to acquire for both investors and collectors.
The reverse design of this fine 99999 gold bullion coin is by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc presents a profile portrait of an elk. The Royal Canadian Mint engravers have lent additional beauty to the artistry of the original design; the finishes on this coin really emphasize the dense fur, presented in full detail, bringing the intensity of the moment fully to life. An effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Canada’s head of state, appears on the obverse surface along with the coin’s CAD $200 face value and the year of strike.
