2021 $350 Canadian Wildlife Portraits: The Caribou Pure Gold (No Tax)
One of Canada's most iconic creatures is the caribou, an antlered resident of our untamed landscapes and a cornerstone of Indigenous culture. Its strength and resilience, as well as its agility and beauty, make it a fitting emblem of Canada itself. Its image never ceases to inspire, especially when captured in exceptionally fine detail and in the highest standard of gold purity as seen on this numismatic work of art.
Designed by Canadian wildlife artist W. Allan Hancock, your coin's reverse captures the majesty of the caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in an equally majestic alpine landscape. A close view allows for a detailed view of the caribou's features, especially the antlers that reach up to the partly cloudy sky, while a second caribou steps into sight in the distance. Also engraved on the reverse are the word "CANADA" and the year "2021". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
