O Canada Series: Caribou
The fourth coin in
the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting new O Canada series focusing on
iconic Canadian images, this beautiful coin celebrates the great
caribou-one of Canada's most fascinating native species.
The
reverse design presents a caribou cow and calf standing in the rugged
terrain of the Canadian North. The mother stands on the right, her head
turned toward her calf, her left eye peering at the viewer. Her tall
antlers reach skyward atop her large head and strong neck.
Beside
her, the knobby-kneed calf peers shyly at its mother, waiting for her
signal. The two stand in a grass-filled early summer valley. Behind
them, their herd travels toward a river in the far distance. Rocky
mountain peaks rise to meet the far-off horizon. The reverse also
features a stylized caribou hoof print.
